What Are Specifications of Tungsten Electrode?
Tungsten electrode is widely used in Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG welding), plasma arc welding, and plasma cutting. Its specifications mainly consists of diameter, length, tip geometry, and material grade. Different specifications directly affect arc ignition stability, current carrying capacity, and arc concentration.
Specifications of CTIA’s Tungsten Electrode: Diameter
Tungsten electrode diameter: 0.25-10.0 mm, with 0.5-6.4 mm as the main industrial range.
Diameter directly determines current capacity and arc stability. Larger diameters support higher current and better burn resistance, while arc concentration decreases slightly.
Specifications of CTIA’s Tungsten Electrode: Length
Standard lengths: 50 mm, 75 mm, 150 mm, 175 mm, 300 mm, 450 mm, 600 mm.
Length selection depends on torch structure and application conditions. CTIA provides both standard and customized lengths to meet different welding equipment requirements.
Specifications of CTIA’s Tungsten Electrode: Tip Geometry
Tip forms include sharpened tip, balled tip, and flat tip.
Tip angle: 15°-60°.
Flat tip width: 0.1-0.5 mm, improving current density distribution and arc stability.
Specifications of CTIA’s Tungsten Electrode: Material Types
Common tungsten electrode types include pure tungsten electrode (WP), thoriated tungsten electrode (WT20), ceriated tungsten electrode (WC20), lanthanated tungsten electrode (WL15/WL20), yttriated tungsten electrode (WY20), zirconiated tungsten electrode (WZ8), composite tungsten electrode, and ternary composite tungsten electrode.
