The role and classification of tungsten electrodes
What's the use of tungsten electrodes? Many people know that tungsten, in its pure metal state, can be used in a variety of industrial applications, including as an electrical grade material, namely tungsten electrodes. Tungsten electrode can be used for welding because of its high melting point, corrosion resistance and good thermal and electrical conductivity. Different appearance and color can also prove that the tungsten content is not the same, so usually in the welding, you can choose the corresponding product by color, acting on different welding items.
What's the use of tungsten electrodes?
Used for non-melting gas shielded welding. In fact, it can be used for TIG welding, which is what many professionals call non-melting gas shielded welding. This welding method can affect a wide range of materials, so it is deeply concerned and loved by everyone. When tungsten electrodes are used in this field, they are not directly applied, but need to add rare earth elements in the matrix through a certain technical way, so that tungsten alloy bars can be made, and then need to be reprocessed to reach a certain specification can be put into use.
Classification of tungsten electrodes
What's the use of tungsten electrodes? I believe you have had an intuitive understanding, it can be said that with this product, the quality of welding has been guaranteed, and with the development of technology and people's unremitting research in recent years, tungsten electrode has also derived more types. Cerium-tungsten electrodes, for example, are made by adding cerium oxide to tungsten and can be used for low-current DC welding. The addition of lanthanum oxide results in lanthanum tungsten electrode, which can be used for ALTERNATING current welding and is one of the most popular electrode materials, in addition to zirconium tungsten electrode, yttrium tungsten electrode and so on.
