Tungsten welding electrode has excellent welding performance, great arc starting capacity with good arc stability, low electrode burning loss, long service life, free of slag and splashing and high welding quality.
The shape of germanium tungsten electrode tip is an important factor for TIG.
Characteristics of tungsten electrode:Tungsten electrode plays an important role in tungsten argon arc welding of arc, arc stability and welding quality.
Applications of tungsten electrode:Tungsten electrode is used for inert gas protection arc welding, plasmacutting, spray-coating and furnace melting.
Surface conditions of tungsten electrode:Grinding, cleaning, electrolysis polishing, drawing or forging.
