Electrodes For Tig Welder
The electrodes, having to be of a material capable of withstanding temperatures of the electric arc, are, for many years only tungsten or its alloys, the beginnings of this technology (the forties) were also used graphite electrodes. Tungsten, as well as having the best mechanical thermal characteristics, is preferred for its high thermoelectric power (ability to emit electrons at high temperature), which stabilizes the arc.
