At the production of Tungsten Electrodes the molecular arrangement of the grain works in a longitudinal direction. Lateral grinding has a damaging influence on the smooth surface of the electrode.
The Supplier of
China Tungsten Electrodes tell you the tough surface variations brought on by lateral grinding causes the arc to both wonder along with the tungsten to clot resulting in undesirable weld arc features and decreased regular life.
By using longitudinal grinding together with the tungsten grain management that the arc is lean and bell shaped and really steady. The tungsten electrode includes a lower thermal load and consequently longer lifetime.
