Diameter And Geometry Affect An Electrode’s Electron Flow Behavior

Image
The Ag Agcl Reference Electrode made of tungsten plays a crucial role in the process of orbital TIG welding. By using it, you can obtain the much-needed electric arc that influences the quality of the weld directly. You’ll also have to keep several points in mind when selecting an electrode. Some of these include the material used in making it, diameter, length, geometry, size, and surface condition. The purpose You need to sharpen the electrode as it’s the most important parameter. It dictates the characteristics of the geometry and welding arc. If you sharpen it, the electrode will facilitate the arc initiation. However, it can also deteriorate quickly, which, in turn, will cause potential tungsten incisions in the weld. The flat spot The flat tip of this electrode can extend its life. However, you need to do it correctly to ensure it doesn’t become too large. Otherwise, it’ll make the arc unchanneled and unstable. Therefore, you need to resort to an adapted flat tip to achi...
