What can Huntingdon Fusion Techniques MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes offer you?
Blue Tipped MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes have been specifically designed by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® to address the growing concerns about the radio-toxic thoria that is present in standard red tipped tungsten electrodes, MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes are non-radiotoxic, non-thoriated and non-carcinogenic.
They maintain a high performance and will strike 10 times more arcs than red tipped thoriated tungsten, when tested under identical conditions.
Each packet of MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes carries a total traceability identification and are suitable for a wide variety of welding operations, particularly effective in the welding of titanium, stainless steel and aluminium AC and DC.
MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes provide savings through longer life, more strikes per electrode before grinding, less re-work, less wastage and lower power requirements.
Eliminate the thoriated dust in the atmosphere by changing to MultiStrike® Tungstens so that when there is tungsten grinding dust, it is not radiotoxic.
What about a low cost Weld Purge Monitor®?
One way to measure the oxygen present before, during and after welding is to use a Weld Purge Monitor® and one of the leading instruments for this is the low cost PurgEye® 100 . This instrument eliminates any guesswork about oxygen levels, providing accurate readings from atmospheric level down to 100 parts per million (ppm).
MWP Welding Engineering Services recently welded a vessel head (pictured below) for the food manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries manufactured from a combination of 304L and 316L stainless steel. It was welded using our MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes and the oxygen level was monitored with our PurgEye® 100.

Mason from MWP Welding Engineering Services said: “I have been trying out some MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® and I have to say I'm impressed with how long they stay sharp for. Welding on 170 amps with a 2.4mm tungsten and still looks like I just sharpened it. I wont be using anything other than these in the future. Thank you for making such awesome products.”
