PowerWeld PUR116-EA 1/16″ x 7″ Pure Green Tungsten Electrode (EWP)

The PowerWeld PUR116 1/16″ x 7″ pure green tungsten electrode is an unalloyed tungsten option for AC TIG welding on aluminum and magnesium. With a 1/16″ diameter, it offers more amperage capacity than a .040″ electrode while still giving the arc control needed for sheet, tube, and light plate. Classified as EWP, this electrode provides good stability on alternating current, whether you are running a balanced wave or a continuously high-frequency stabilized AC output.

Pure tungsten naturally forms a clean, balled end on AC, which many welders prefer for aluminum and magnesium welding. That balled tip spreads the arc and helps distribute heat evenly across the joint, reducing arc wandering and helping maintain a consistent weld puddle. The 7″ (175 mm) length fits standard TIG torches and most tungsten grinders, while the green color coding at the tip clearly marks it as pure tungsten in mixed storage. Sold individually, the PUR116 is a practical choice for shops, maintenance crews, and training labs that rely on traditional AC aluminum TIG welding.

Markets

• Aluminum Fabrication Shops Everyday AC TIG electrode for aluminum sheet, extrusions, and light plate.
• Marine and Trailer Manufacturing Used on aluminum boat parts, docks, ladders, and trailer frames.
• Automotive and Motorsport Fabrication Suitable for aluminum panels, brackets, and light structural parts.
• Aerospace and Aviation Maintenance Applied to select aluminum and magnesium repairs where pure tungsten is specified.
• Manufacturing and Process Equipment Used on aluminum guards, covers, platforms, and enclosures.

• Trade Schools and TIG Training Programs Ideal for teaching basic AC aluminum TIG using pure tungsten.

Shops and training programs rely on the PowerWeld PUR116 when they want classic pure tungsten behavior on AC across a useful amperage range. The 1/16″ diameter provides more current capacity than a .040″ electrode, so welders can move from thin sheet to moderate plate and extrusion without changing sizes. On AC TIG, the EWP classification gives a stable arc and a clean, balled end that many welders find easy to control on aluminum and magnesium joints.

Maintenance crews appreciate having a dedicated pure tungsten electrode ready for traditional AC aluminum work. For basic bracket repairs, small fabrications, and training exercises, the PUR116 keeps setup straightforward and predictable. Instructors can demonstrate the differences between pure tungsten and alloyed electrodes, while technicians in the field can rely on familiar green-tip performance when AC aluminum welding is required.

Why Customers Choose the PowerWeld 1/16″ x 7″ Pure Green Tungsten Electrode

Welders choose the PowerWeld PUR116 when they want a 1/16″ pure tungsten electrode dedicated to AC aluminum and magnesium welding. The EWP classification and green tip are familiar in many shops, and the way pure tungsten forms a balled end provides a broad, smooth arc that works well on fillet welds, lap joints, and general aluminum fabrication. For crews that stick with traditional AC aluminum TIG techniques, this electrode keeps the process simple and predictable.

The 1/16″ size hits a useful middle ground: small enough for aluminum sheet and tube, but with enough amperage capacity for many light-plate and extrusion jobs. Training labs also favor this electrode when teaching entry-level aluminum TIG, since students can clearly see how pure tungsten behaves on AC before moving on to alloyed options. When straightforward AC aluminum TIG performance is the goal, the PowerWeld PUR116 is a reliable, easy-to-understand choice.
