Where I = 1…5 x d. The sharpening length best suited for your purposes depends on the most used welding current level: Low currents Mid currents High currents When sharpening the electrode, always grind along the electrode. © Kemppi 14/24 1920910 / 1921... - Page 15 The welding current is too high for the electrode diameter selected. When using Kemppi AC TIG equipment for specific applications, it is also possible to prepare and maintain a small point on the electrode tip (d). This improves the directional control of the welding arc and weld pool size.
