FAQs

What welding electrodes are used in TIG welding?

TIG welding typically uses tungsten electrodes due to their ability to withstand high heat and provide stable arc starts. There are different types of tungsten electrodes used in welders, including pure tungsten, thoriated, ceriated, and lanthanated electrodes. Each type offers specific benefits depending on the material being welded and the type of welding (AC or DC). Pure tungsten is commonly used for AC welding, while thoriated and lanthanated electrodes are preferred for DC welding with materials like steel and nickel alloys.

What color TIG welding electrode for mild steel?

For TIG welding mild steel, a red-colored 2% thoriated tungsten electrode is commonly used. This electrode provides excellent arc stability and is ideal for DC welding. Another option is the grey-colored 2% lanthanated tungsten electrode, which is also suitable for mild steel and offers similar arc stability with a longer lifespan.

How do I know what TIG rod to use?

The choice of TIG rod depends on the base metal you are welding. For steel, an ER70S-2 filler rod is often used, while for stainless steel, an ER308L rod is preferred. When welding aluminum, a 4043 or 5356 TIG rod is typically recommended. You can select the right TIG rod by matching the composition of the rod with the base metal and considering factors like the thickness of the material and the welding process.

What kind of rod do you use for TIG welding?

The kind of rod used for TIG welding depends on the material you’re working with. For steel, you’d use an ER70S-2 or ER70S-6 filler rod. For aluminum, the 4043 and 5356 rods are common. Stainless steel requires an ER308L rod, while nickel alloys often need a special nickel-based rod. Always ensure that the TIG welding rod is compatible with the base metal and provides good weld quality.
