WT20 Red Tip Tungsten Electrodes: DC TIG Selection and RFQ Checklist
BSY Technology
WT20 red tip tungsten electrodes for DC TIG procurement
WT20 is a red-tip thoriated tungsten electrode traditionally selected for DC TIG welding. It is a procedure-specific choice: confirm that WT20 is the grade required by your established welding process before ordering. This guide helps distributors and industrial buyers prepare a clear specification and quotation request.

Identify the grade before choosing a size
- Grade: WT20.
- Tip identification: red.
- Electrode type: thoriated tungsten for applications specifying this grade.
- Process: confirm the DC TIG procedure, equipment and current range.
- Dimensions and packaging: request confirmation for your required diameter, cut length and pieces per case.
Do not use tip colour or a representative package photograph as the complete purchase specification. State the grade and dimensions in writing. A photographed size does not define every available option; BSY confirms the requested specification, price and availability in the quotation.
Check the welding procedure and required documentation
Typical DC applications include steel, stainless steel and other compatible alloys. Suitability depends on the welding procedure and equipment; confirm grade, diameter and tip preparation against those requirements rather than selecting by colour alone.
WT20 contains thorium. Request the applicable safety data sheet before use and follow workplace controls for storage, handling, grinding dust and disposal. If your purchasing specification requires another electrode type, discuss WL20 blue-tip lanthanated tungsten electrodes or WC20 ceriated tungsten electrodes against the procedure. A different grade should not be treated as an automatic substitute.
What to include in a WT20 quotation request
- Product: WT20 red-tip thoriated tungsten electrode, with the product link or your reference specification.
- Dimensions: required diameter and cut length, including any tolerance or drawing requirement.
- Quantity: total pieces, pieces per case and preferred packaging or labelling.
- Application: base material, welding equipment, DC process and current range where relevant to grade confirmation.
- Destination: country and city, plus any delivery requirements to be reviewed.
- Documents: applicable SDS, product identification and any other documents you need confirmed before ordering.
For buyers in Vietnam, Thailand, Pakistan and Bangladesh, include the destination country and city in the first enquiry. This lets BSY review the same product specification alongside destination and documentation requirements. Price, availability, freight arrangements and lead time are confirmed with the quotation.

Common purchasing questions
Is red tip alone enough to specify WT20?
No. Include the WT20 grade name, diameter, length, quantity and packaging requirement. Ask for written confirmation against the product specification.
Does the product photograph confirm all available sizes?
No. Product and packaging photographs are representative. Send the exact size needed and ask BSY to confirm availability before ordering.
Can WL20 or WC20 replace WT20?
They are different electrode grades. Discuss a change against the established welding procedure and equipment requirements before placing an order.
How do I obtain a WT20 price?
Use the checklist above and request a quotation from BSY, or use the enquiry button on the WT20 product page. Quote the grade, dimensions, quantity and destination so the response addresses your actual requirement.
