When it comes to TIG welding, the quality of the tungsten electrode is what makes the difference between a good weld seam and a perfect one. Anyone who has experienced an unstable arc or poor ignition knows how it can disrupt the process. That's why absolute process reliability is so important. For years, the E3® from ABICOR BINZEL represented exactly that. But now it has real competition: the E3® PRO.

The E3® PRO from ABICOR BINZEL combines all the advantages of the proven E3®, but with an optimized material structure and a special manufacturing process. The result is excellent ignition properties, a consistently smooth arc, a long service life, and maximum process reliability in all applications.

Further development of the E3® electrode

Since its introduction, the E3® has proven to be a reliable all-rounder in TIG welding. Its purple marking signifies strong ignition properties, a high level of current carrying capacity, and consistent heat distribution. With stable arc control, low erosion, and universal usability, it excels in all TIG applications. Of course, the E3® continues to be a reliable TIG welding solution. However, the E3® PRO takes it a step further.

When "very good" is not enough: E3® PRO

ABICOR BINZEL has further developed and optimized the proven strengths of the E3® with the new E3® PRO. Its composition of special rare earth oxides and optimized manufacturing process provide outstanding properties. The result: outstanding ignition properties, especially in the low ampere range, a perfect arc and an unbeatable service life.

With its characteristic gold & purple color coding, the E3® PRO is easily identifiable. It stands for maximum performance and safety, while being completely environmentally and health friendly. Another advantage: The E3® PRO does not contain hazardous substances, such as thorium oxide, and does not require special disposal.

Whether using direct or alternating current, manual or automated processes, or working with thin sheet metal or challenging materials, the E3® PRO delivers impressive results in all areas. It also achieves optimal results when welding aluminum: The calotte formation is ideal, enabling clean and even penetration. Handling is identical to the E3®, so it is as reliable as ever.

Conclusion

ABICOR BINZEL has set a new benchmark with the E3® PRO, an ideal choice for both experienced professionals and beginners. Once you try it, you won't want to use anything else.
