The types of tungsten electrodes are mainly classified according to the different rare earth oxides or alloy elements doped in them. Here are the common types of tungsten electrodes and their characteristics: I. Pure Tungsten Electrode (WP) Composition: Contains over 99.9% tungsten. Color Code: Green. Characteristics: High melting and boiling points, resistant to melting, volatilization, and burnout, with minimal tip contamination. However, it has a higher electron emission work function and moderate arc stability. Application: Primarily used for AC welding…
