Green-Tip Tungsten Electrode 1.6mm x 175mm – AC TIG Welding

Brief Overview

This AC TIG tungsten electrode is engineered specifically for aluminum and magnesium alloy welding applications. The 1.6mm diameter and 175mm working length make it ideal for precision TIG work on thin to medium-section aluminum components. For heavier aluminum applications, consider the larger 2.4mm tungsten electrode for AC welding, or explore red-coded DC electrodes for steel and stainless steel work.

Key Features

• Pure tungsten (100% W) composition – Standard AC TIG performer for non-ferrous metals
• Green-coded AC designation – Immediate visual identification for welders and shop organization
• 1.6mm diameter – Ideal for precision work on aluminum sheet and thin-wall components
• 175mm working length – Standard electrode length balances usability and material efficiency
• Retail pack of 10 – Convenient consumable quantity for shop stocking and resale

Business Advantages for Resellers

• Consumable revenue stream – Welders deplete electrodes predictably; strong repeat-order potential
• Focused niche – AC TIG aluminum welding remains essential across automotive, HVAC, and light fabrication sectors
• Low inventory footprint – Compact, stackable retail packs fit shelf space efficiently
• High margin opportunity – Tungsten electrodes carry healthy wholesale-to-retail markups
• Paired selling potential – Stock alongside larger aluminum electrodes to serve varied job requirements

Why This Size Matters

The 1.6mm electrode is the workhorse for AC TIG aluminum work. It handles edge-thickness applications (0.5–3mm) with minimal heat input, making it essential for automotive panel repairs, small fabrication runs, and precision HVAC assembly. Resellers stocking this size capture the largest segment of hobby and professional aluminum welders who need reliable, affordable consumables.

Closing Statement

Stock this AC TIG electrode as a core consumable line. The green-coded designation eliminates picking errors on the shop floor, and the 10-pack format encourages repeat orders while maintaining healthy profit margins. Pair with complementary sizes to build a complete tungsten electrode portfolio.
