PowerWeld CER332-EA 3/32″ x 7″ 2% Ceriated Grey Tungsten Electrode (EWCe-2)

The PowerWeld CER332 3/32″ x 7″ 2% ceriated grey tungsten electrode is a versatile choice for everyday TIG welding across a wide amperage range. The 3/32″ diameter is a common shop standard because it can be used on lighter plate and tube, then turned up for heavier welds without changing sizes. Classified as EWCe-2, this electrode uses a 2% cerium blend that provides easy arc starting, improved arc stability, and a reduced rate of vaporization or burn-off compared with pure tungsten. Welders get quick, reliable arc ignition and a smooth, steady arc that helps with puddle control on a variety of joints.

The CER332 runs well on both DC and AC inverter TIG machines, either polarity. It is suitable for carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium, and aluminum, making it a good fit for mixed-metal fabrication, maintenance, and training environments. The standard 7″ (175 mm) length fits most TIG torches and tungsten grinders. Grey color coding at the tip clearly identifies it as 2% ceriated tungsten so it is easy to pick out in racks or storage tubes. Sold individually, this electrode can be purchased one at a time or in groups of (10) to match a typical PowerWeld pack for shop use.

For fabrication bays, repair shops, and training labs, the PowerWeld CER332 often becomes the “leave it in the torch” size. The 3/32″ diameter can be dialed down for moderate heat on thinner stainless or steel plate and turned up for heavier joints, which reduces the need to swap electrodes as jobs change. On DC, the 2% ceriated blend provides a calm, focused arc that makes it easier to track the joint and control penetration. When switched to AC on an inverter, the same tungsten performs well on aluminum and other non-ferrous work, so crews can move between materials with minimal setup changes.

The reduced burn-off rate of EWCe-2 tungsten is another advantage in day-to-day use. By slowing tip vaporization, the CER332 holds its point longer and keeps arc shape more consistent during multi-pass welds and repeated starts. That means fewer trips to the grinder, more time on the weld, and more uniform bead appearance on production and repair work. For shops and schools looking for a flexible, all-around TIG welding tungsten electrode in a widely used 3/32″ size, the CER332 is a practical, work-focused option.

Why Customers Choose the PowerWeld 3/32″ x 7″ 2% Ceriated Grey Tungsten Electrode

Welders choose the PowerWeld CER332 when they want a single tungsten size that can handle much of their everyday TIG work. The EWCe-2 formulation gives them easy starts and a reliable arc on DC for carbon steel and stainless, while still working well on AC inverter settings for aluminum and other non-ferrous jobs. This flexibility helps shops standardize on a 3/32″ ceriated tungsten for many stations, simplifying inventory and machine setup.

The slower burn-off rate of 2% ceriated tungsten also makes a difference in productivity. During longer welds and multi-pass joints, the point stays sharper and the arc remains more consistent, which means fewer interruptions for grinding and less variation in bead shape from start to finish. For fabrication, maintenance, and training environments that rely on TIG welding across several materials, the PowerWeld CER332 delivers dependable performance in a familiar 3/32″ x 7″ format.
