Yttrium tungsten electrode, a typical rare earth tungsten electrode, is a high-performance electrode material created by modifying a high-purity tungsten base with an appropriate amount of yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃). Its English name is Yttrium Tungsten Electrode. The commonly used WY20 grade in the industry is identified by a blue color-coded tip for quick recognition among various electrode products. It comes in perse specifications, with diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 12.0mm to suit different power welding equipment, and standard lengths typically set at 150mm or 175mm to meet various welding operation needs.
