Tungsten Electrode Is Used In Gas Arc Welding, Flux Cored Arc Welding and Gas Metal Arc Welding To Join Work Pieces

  Tungsten electrode is one of the important welding equipment in the U.S. welding industry. It is used for welding several kinds of metals including stainless steel, aluminum, and magnesium, bronze, steel, tin and lead among many other kinds of metals. It is because of the properties of tungsten that it is widely used in the welding industry. Tungsten electrodes are available at low prices from online stores at affordable price rates. Tungsten electrodes are used to generate heat in welding. This is essential especially for metal arc welding or gas arc welding, which requires high temperatures to join two pieces of metals together. At higher temperatures and in large amounts of current, the metal becomes malleable and ductile so that it can be joined with ease. Tungsten inert gas used in welding is similar to the pure tungsten but with less tendency of becoming molten at high temperatures.
