Tungsten Electrode ( Tig Electrode)

Product Description

General information

Tungsten electrodes are unsurpassed material for electrodes that consist of cathode, anode and supporting bars. The harsh physical and mechanical qualities that are required for an unmatched functional electrode can be fulfilled by a tungsten electrode. It has the highest melting and boiling point, low vapour pressure, low thermal expansion and great thermal conductivity.

The electrodes must be able to withstand high temperatures and must be able to pass electricity and heat to the body of the electrodes. Tungsten electrodes can be of different kinds such as a complex part of the unit or simple pins. The type of electrodes available depends on the requirements.
