Luvata's A-Trode™ is the universal cap electrode for reliable resistance welding at minimum piece price.
Produced by Luvata's proprietary billet casting process, the A-Trode's freedom from oxygen allows us to alloy the copper with the optimum levels of chrome and zirconium to deliver consistent welding results.
The A-Trode™ is available in all industry sizes, geometries and tapers or cold headed or machined to deliver your custom-made shape.
Traceability
All Luvata materials are fully traceable and quality assured. A-Trode™ can be recognized by the distinctive taper design that helps water cooling in service.
