Tungsten Alloy For Welding

About Tungsten Alloys for Welding

The welding wire used in tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is manufactured from tungsten alloy. This is because tungsten alloy has the highest melting point among all metals at 3 422 °C (6 192 °F). Consequently, the tungsten alloy welding wire is not consumed during welding, although minor burnout may occur. The wire surface may be either pristine or ground. A pristine surface is chemically cleaned, whereas a ground surface is machined to a uniform dimension and polished to enhance heat conduction. The diameter ranges from 0.5 to 6.4 millimetres, and the length ranges from 75 to 610 millimetres.

Key Features of Tungsten Alloy for Welding:

High Density: Tungsten alloys exhibit high density, which leads to concentrated energy transfer during welding. As a result, weld joints achieve greater penetration and strength.

Ease of Application: Tungsten alloy is available in various forms, including electrodes and welding wires. This variety permits its use with multiple welding processes and techniques.

Reduced Deformation: The low thermal expansion of tungsten alloys minimises deformation during welding. This attribute preserves the workpiece's structural integrity.

Precise Welding: The density and conductivity of tungsten alloy contribute to a focused and controlled arc. Consequently, weld seams are produced with precision and accuracy.
