Expert Advice

FAQs

What is a tungsten electrode?

A tungsten electrode is a consumable rod primarily used in TIG welding. It conducts electricity and generates a high-temperature arc to melt the base metal.

Tungsten has a high melting point, excellent electrical conductivity, and resistance to oxidation, making it ideal for withstanding the intense heat of the welding arc.

  • Pure Tungsten: Best for AC welding of aluminium and magnesium
  • Thoriated Tungsten: Offers excellent arc starting and stability, but is less environmentally friendly
  • Ceriated Tungsten: Provides good arc starting and stability, and is more environmentally friendly than thoriated tungsten
  • Lanthanated Tungsten: Offers good arc starting and stability, and is suitable for high-current DC welding

Consider factors like the type of metal you’re welding, the welding current, and the desired arc characteristics. Consult a welding supply expert for specific recommendations.

Using a tungsten grinder, grind the electrode to a sharp point at a 15-20 degree angle. Avoid overheating the electrode during grinding, as this can affect its performance.

Store electrodes in a clean, dry place, away from moisture and contaminants.

Clean electrodes with a fine-grit sandpaper or a tungsten electrode cleaner to remove contaminants and oxidation.

Yes, you can reuse a tungsten electrode if it’s not severely damaged. However, frequent reuse can shorten the electrode’s lifespan.

AC electrodes are typically pure tungsten or ceriated tungsten, while DC electrodes can be thoriated, ceriated, or lanthanated. The choice depends on the type of metal being welded and the desired welding process.

Replace a tungsten electrode when it becomes rounded, cracked, or significantly shortened.
