What Are TIG Tungsten Electrodes?
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a popular type of welding that utilizes tungsten electrodes to join various metals. The tungsten electrode is a critical component in the process, as it channels the current required to establish the arc. The tungsten electrodes can be alloyed with a variety of metals. Different types and sizes of electrodes are used for different types of welds and materials, and welders develop preferences based on welding style and project. Certain electrode types perform better with alternating current (AC) as opposed to direct current (DC).
These are a 7" Pure Aluminum Tungsten Electrodes with 1/8" Diameter, Ground sold each.
Features
- Adheres to American Welding Society standard A5.12M/A5.12:2032.
- Promotes Reliable Arc Striking and low burn off rate.
- Premium alloy composition to promote longevity of tungsten electrode.
Applications
- Tungsten rod products are used as electrodes in the Gas Tungsten Arc-Welding (GTAW) also known as Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG)
- These products are also used for Plasma Cutting
- Good general-purpose electrodes for less critical operations in which less expensive electrodes are desired.
- Each Tungsten sold Individually.
