What are the common types of tungsten electrodes used for?

What is the use of tungsten electrode? Many people know that tungsten is a metal that can be used in many industrial fields when it exists in a pure metal state, which also includes being an electrical grade material, that is, tungsten electrode. Because tungsten has a high melting point, corrosion resistance, good thermal and electrical conductivity and other characteristics, so tungsten electrodes can be used for welding. The tungsten content can be proved to be different by the different appearance of the color, so usually when welding, you can choose the corresponding product by the color, which can be used for different welding items.

What is the use of tungsten electrode?

It is used for non-fused electrode gas shielded welding. In fact, it can be used for TIG welding, which is what many professionals call non-fused electrode gas shielded welding, and this kind of welding can be used for a wide range of materials, so it is very popular and loved by everyone. Tungsten electrode in the field, not directly applied, but in the matrix through a certain technical way to add rare earth elements, so that can be made into tungsten alloy bars, and then need to be re-processed to meet certain specifications before they can be put into use.

Classification of tungsten electrode

What is the use of tungsten electrode? I believe we have an intuitive understanding, it can be said that with this product, the quality of welding has played a guarantee, and along with the development of technology in recent years and people's unremitting research, tungsten electrode also derived from more types. For example, cerium tungsten electrode, which is produced by adding cerium oxide to tungsten, can be used in low-current DC welding. Lanthanum tungsten electrode is obtained after adding lanthanum oxide, which can be used for AC welding and is one of the most popular electrode materials, in addition to zirconium tungsten electrode, yttrium tungsten electrode and so on.
