I recently purchased a Maxstar 150 stl package. It came with a small asortment of tungsten. Of course I knew what the red and the green labled ment, but a few pieces were labled orange. What does that represent?Miller TrailBlazer 251Miller HF-250-1Miller MaxStar 150 STLHyperTherm PowerMax 380 plasmaLincoln PowerMig 180Millermatic 252Miller Diversion 180
Reply:Taken directly from the Diamond Ground website.2% Ceriated tungsten contains a nominal 2wt-% of cerium oxide(CeO2). Ceriated is different from Thoriated as it is not a radioactive material. Ceriated Tungsten also tends to last longer than Thoriated and can be used proficiently with AC or DC. In manual applications the Ceriated Tungsten will provide slightly different electrical characteristics than the Thoriated Tungsten but generally no difference will be seen by the operator. Generally used to weld carbon & stainless steel, nickel alloy and titaniumhttp://www.diamondground.com/tungmaterials.htmlProud to be self-employed and not have to rely on ANYONE but me to make my way in this world.Dynasty 350DXDynasty 200DX MM 350PMM 210MM Passport PlusSpectrum 375 Extreme08' Trailblazer 302
