Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, using high heat to melt the parts ...

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 ...

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) rod welding, joins metals by melting base and filler metals with an arc struck between a tungsten electrode and the workpiece.

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 ...

GTAW, or TIG welding, is a precise welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode and inert shielding gas. GTAW can be used on a wide variety of metals, and can be performed manually or ...

For the first time, electrodes that can make hydrogen from seawater without generating corrosive and toxic chlorine gas will be produced at commercial scales. “Traditional electrolysis has only ...

Plasma welding is similar to Tungsten gas (TIG) welding. In both processes the arc is formed between the end of a small diameter tungsten electrode and the workpieces, but in plasma welding the ...

Delivers a welding range of 5 to 150 amps on 115 VAC and 5 to 210 amps on 230 VAC Includes a Tweco MIG gun, Stick electrode holder and work clamp and a Victor regulator Options include a TIG torch ...

uses electrolysis to put a thin layer of a metal onto a metal object. The electrodes used in electroplating are non-inert - they do take part in the electrolysis reactions.
