During AC welding, for example, using more electrode-positive current may provide more cleaning action, but it also subjects the tungsten to more current, and thus, consumption.

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) or TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is an arc welding process that uses a tungsten electrode to produce an electric arc that jumps between it and the work piece ...

A special recipe for TIG welding electrode material offers significant benefits in quality, cost, safety and ease-of-use, says its British developer. MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes, developed ...

Unlike MIG, stick, or any other form of welding, Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding uses a non consumable tungsten electrode to deliver the arc.

In a South African first, Afrox has introduced a new radiation-free TIG tungsten electrode that offers safer, more economical and more efficient welding than any other TIG tungsten electrode ...

TIG, an acronym for tungsten inert gas, is also called gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). In this somewhat different process, a plasma arc is created whereby the workpiece acts as one electrode, and ...

In the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process, an electric arc is struck between a refractory electrode made of tungsten and the work piece, while a shroud of inert gas, usually argon, shields the ...

NIT: “most TIG electrodes contain a small amount of lanthanum or thorium so their[sic] slight radioactivity” This is a little bit of a misrepresentation of radioactive part of TIG welding.
