Post from: New and Used Welders

How to prepare or grind tungsten electrodesPost from: New and Used Welders There are three basic profiles that are used on the end of a tungsten electrode. A balled end, a tapered end, and a truncated end. The choice of which one to use is based on the type of welding that you are doing.

Post from: New and Used Welders

Tungsten electrodes for TIG weldingPost from: New and Used Welders Tungsten is used as an electrode in the TIG welding process, hence the name: TIG-Tungsten Inert Gas, or GTAW-Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. It’s an especially useful metal in the welding field because of a couple of unique properties that lend themselves well to welding. The [...]]]> http://stickweld.com/basic-information/tungsten-electrodes-for-tig-welding/feed/ 0 http://stickweld.com/basic-information/190/ http://stickweld.com/basic-information/190/#comments Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:02:57 +0000 admin http://stickweld.com/basic-information/190/ A simplified explanation of Welding Polarity

Post from: New and Used Welders

A simplified explanation of Welding PolarityPost from: New and Used Welders Welding polarity can be confusing to someone that’s just learning how to weld. There are several different terms used to describe it and different welding processes and electrodes may require different settings. It may not seem to make much sense at first, but if [...]]]> http://stickweld.com/basic-information/190/feed/ 0 http://stickweld.com/electrode/electrode-polarity-chart/ http://stickweld.com/electrode/electrode-polarity-chart/#comments Mon, 25 Feb 2008 20:39:02 +0000 admin http://stickweld.com/electrode/electrode-polarity-chart/ Mild Steel Electrode Polarity

Post from: New and Used Welders

Mild Steel Electrode PolarityPost from: New and Used Welders The following is a list of the recommended polarity settings for different mild steel shielded metal arc welding electrodes as defined by AWS Specification A5.1-91 DCEP = Direct Current Electrode Positive DCEN = Direct Current Electrode Negative AC = Alternating Current Penetration = Relative strength of [...]]]> http://stickweld.com/electrode/electrode-polarity-chart/feed/ 0 http://stickweld.com/electrode/what-do-those-numbers-on-your-welding-rod-mean/ http://stickweld.com/electrode/what-do-those-numbers-on-your-welding-rod-mean/#comments Thu, 14 Feb 2008 00:48:31 +0000 admin http://stickweld.com/?p=11 What do those numbers on a welding rod mean?

Post from: New and Used Welders

What do those numbers on a welding rod mean?Post from: New and Used Welders Ever wonder what the numbers on a welding electrode mean? All mild steel welding electrodes are designated by a code that’s printed on them. This code takes the form EXXXX, or EXXXXX. So what do they mean? EXXX, EXXXXX The letter [...]]]> http://stickweld.com/electrode/what-do-those-numbers-on-your-welding-rod-mean/feed/ 0
