  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. Tungsten electrode is used in gas arc welding, flux cored arc welding and gas metal arc...

  When you first look at a weld puddle or tangle of weld, chances are that you'll find one or more layers of rusty brown tungsten electrodes. While this is to be expected under the best of circumstances, it can cause problems for welders who don't pay attention to what they're doing or simply try to go straight to the good stuff when they see it. In order to avoid this, you should understand what all these electrodes actually are and how they interact with your welding process. Once you understand how tungsten electrodes work, you'll see why you need to be cautious with the ones you use in your shop. A major advantage of tungsten as a welding electrode material is its low work function. A tungsten electrode consists of an alloy layer and a backing sheet that act like a shield. It protects the impure particles from penetrating the welding area, while allowing the current to be directed where you need it. In Japan, tungsten electrodes are used when arc welding with the...
