The different types of electrodes used in orbital TIG welding

Tungsten electrodes are classified according to their chemical composition. For more information please refer to the standard ANSI/AWS A5.12-92.An electrode is always made of tungsten, either pure or containing different alloys or oxides. Below a list of the different types of tungsten electrodes used in orbital TIG / GTAW welding. This will help you choose the right tungsten when it comes to TIG

14 Aluminum Welding Projects to Try Today (With Pictures and Videos)

Part of what makes aluminum great is that it is so lightweight. It is also an incredibly sensitive metal. Being naturally more porous, the metal is more subject to contamination during welding. Since it is more sensitive, it also is subject to heat distortion. Check out some of these aluminum welding projects and admire the overall craftsmanship required to work with this metal. Perhaps you might find you want to try your hand at one. The 14 Aluminum Welding Project Are: 1. Battery Tray Materials:1/8” Aluminum plate, 6” turnbucklesTools:Welder, grinder, angle iron or sheet metal bender, hammer (optional)Difficulty:Moderate Watch how the designer builds a battery tray for his truck. He removes the battery, makes paper templates based on the dimensions
