A pointed tip aids in preventing distortion of thin metals (such as aluminium) by allowing the welding current to transfer in a focussed arc. It is advised to grind the electrode end to a truncated tip for higher-current applications.
A variety of materials are used as electrodes, including copper, tungsten, and molybdenum, as well as their numerous alloys. To get the desired weld spot, it is vital to consider the size and form of the electrode.
An electrode that utilises a liquid metal, such as mercury, galena, or NaK, is known as a liquid metal electrode. They can be applied to voltammetry, impedance, and electrocapillarity measurements.
The Global Electrode Tip market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
AMI Introduces Unique Orbistar Tungsten Electrodes for Improved Performance of Orbital TIG Equipment An exclusive line of tungsten electrodes for orbital TIG welding is now available from AMI, an ESAB brand, in association with Wolfram Industrie, a vertically integrated producer of premium tungsten and molybdenum materials.
Pre-ground tungsten electrodes from the AMI-Wolfram Industrie ORBISTAR line can last up to twice as long as ordinary tungsten electrodes and can prevent arc fault failures by as much as 80%.
To satisfy certain application needs, the company offers various combinations of tungsten length, diameter, point geometry, surface quality, and kind, including thoriated and non-thoriated choices.
“A premium tungsten electrode provides better uptime and lowers overall cost, delivering the reliable performance needed in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, aerospace, nuclear, and other critical applications,” says the manufacturer of ORBISTAR electrodes.
“ORBISTAR electrodes provide superior arc stability and arc starting performance due to greater element purity, tighter control of grain size, more homogenous oxide distribution, and strict manufacturing process controls.”
Every ORBISTAR electrode is checked one hundred percent before delivery, and every box has a QR code for traceability, to work with scanners connected to ESAB’s WeldCloudTM data analytics system, and to prohibit the use of subpar counterfeit tungstens.
As a leader in the welding and cutting sector, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products is well known. ESAB’s filler metals, equipment, and accessories offer solutions to customers all over the world, from time-honoured welding and cutting procedures to cutting-edge automation welding and cutting processes.
