2.4. CHOICE OF ELECTRODE SIZE AND FLOW AMOUNT
OF SHIELDING GAS
Electrode size and shielding gas ow are dened by welding current level. The most usual
shielding gas for TIG welding is argon.
The table below is given only as a guide.

2.5. SHARPENING OF ELECTRODE
2.5.1. D.C. welding
In D.C. welding the tip of electrode is sharpened into cone shape in order to get a steady arc and
to concentrate heat energy on welding point. Size of sharpening angle has an effect on width of
welding run and depth of penetration. Ratio of sharpening length to electrode diameter:
