It’s right in the name. TIG welding uses sintered tungsten electrodes; rare earth oxides reduce the work factor to make striking arcs easier. Source: Adobe Stock. Another important industrial ...

Aspiring TIG welders very quickly learn the importance of good tungsten electrode grinding skills. All it takes is a moment’s distraction or a tiny tremor in the torch hand to plunge the ...

TIG welding (also called Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, GTAW) involves striking an arc between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the workpiece. The weld pool and the electrode are protected by an ...
