Electrode tip for AC Electrode tip ground Electrode tip ground and then conditioned
Tungsten electrodes TIG Welding Variables The electrode diameter, type and vertex angle are all critical factors considered as essential variables. The vertex angle is as shown DC -ve AC Vetex angle Note: too fine an angle will promote melting of the electrodes tip Note: when welding aluminium with AC current, the tungsten end is chamfered and forms a ball end when welding
Shielding gas requirements Shielding gas flow Preflow and Postflow Preflow Welding current Postflow (6-10 l/min) Flow rate too low Flow rate too high

Shielding gases for TIG welding Argon low cost and greater availability Helium costly and lower availability than Argon lighter than air - requires a higher flow rate compared with argon (2-3 times) Nitrogen not an inert gas high availability - cheap added to argon (up to 5%) - only for back purge for duplex stainless, austenitic stainless steels and copper alloys not used for mild steels (age embritlement)
Shielding gases for TIG welding Hydrogen not an inert gas - not used as a primary shielding gas increase the heat input - faster travel speed and increased penetration better wetting action - improved bead profile produce a cleaner weld bead surface added to argon (up to 5%) - only for austenitic stainless steels and nickel alloys flammable and explosive
