Introduction to tungsten electrode
Tungsten electrode is a tungsten electrode made of materials with high melting point, corrosion resistance, high density, good thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Tungsten electrode is widely used in welding due to its properties. Tungsten electrodes are ground or polished and black rods. The final colors are all different and the difference can be distinguished. In tungsten electrodes, more importantly, their final color is different, and the tungsten content is also different. When welding, choose the right tungsten electrode to make welding easier and importantly get a high quality weld. Some important factors to consider in making the right choice are the type of power source (inverter or transformer), welding material (steel, aluminum or stainless steel) and material thickness. Tungsten electrodes are used for TIG welding. They are tungsten alloy strips made by adding about 0.3%-5% of rare earth elements such as cerium, thorium, lanthanum, zirconium, yttrium, etc. into the tungsten matrix through powder metallurgy. Press machined, diameters range from 0.25 to 6.4mm, standard lengths range from 75 to 600, and the most commonly used specifications are diameters 1.0, 1.6, 2.4 and 3.2. The shape of the electrode tip is an important factor for TIG, when When using DCSP, the...
