TIG Basic electrode since 70% of the heat is concentrated at the work piece. Welding Guide TIG Welding is a fusion procedure that uses an elec- tric ARC created between an infusible tungsten elec- trode and base material to be welded. For TIG weld- ing an inert gas must be used (Argon) which protects up of rods suitable to the material to be welded (steel, stainless steel, copper etc). - Page 18 ATP160 Welding Machine (Fig 16-3) ARC Welder Point Grinding Wheel Radial Ground Wrong Tungsten Preparation - Wandering ARC (Fig 17) Pointing the Electrode The electrode should be pointed according to the welding current. www.weldtech.net.nz...
