Questions & Answers
There is no filler material in these electrodes, just tungsten. There is no need to change anything in er70s Using these electrodes, 2 can be used.
In order to accomplish this, you need to make sure the grind marks are positioned where they belong.
There is no tungsten carbide in these electrodes. Instead, they are tungsten electrodes alloyed with thorium oxide, which are used in gas tungsten arc welding.
Sparklers cannot be used with these electrodes, they are only used for TIG welding.

In addition to carbon and stainless steel, I also weld aluminum and aluminum alloys. With 2%, it is possible to manipulate the arc of melted steel with the best arc starts and consistency. This is made all the more important by the tungsten grind, which contributes to Similarly, grinding the tungsten down to a point or 45 degree cone shape will allow the upper band to become unstable, reducing some of the arc flare that falls on the tip. It is a problem that many Tig welders face. I recommend you double grind the tungsten rod in order to pinpoint the arc. As with your usual grind, the first grind needs to be your regularly scheduled grind. According to the picture, the upper band of the first grind should be ground to form a gradual cone with a tapered flair. Great tungsten, I will definitely buy more when my stock runs out.

Since I began using them, I have been very pleased with Midwest's tungsten electrodes. Sadly, my TIG welding is not great, and I was in need of assistance. I had previously used an 04 to butt weld a 45 degree angle in 1/16 wall round stainless tube, and it blew holes in the apex of the join with the 1/16 electrodes and filler, so I tried It was not so easy to find them, but Midwest stocked them, and they arrived the The fine paper balls up pretty fast, but I was much happier with the results, despite the rolling up. Getting a spool of filler and a writer was also a challenge. There was a more practical way to use MIG wire 04 than anything else.
Everything seems to be going well so far. As of yet, I haven't tried it with welding. Later, I will update you on that. As a sample, here is a picture of a belt sander used to grind the tip of a nut. The angle of optimum viewing is unclear to me. I was first trying to do it. The rod should be parallel to the ground surface for an arc to operate smoothly. On top of that, the grinders only sand plywood, so I don't think there is a concern with contamination. As far as I am concerned, there's no problem. For a 100% assurance, we need to do some research into best electrode grinding practices.
It was easy to use these rods. Regarding tungsten electrodes, I do not have a lot to say. It's important that these products do their job, and these do just that. When I need to replace them, I can order them easily through my phone app. Throughout the process, the vendor was very concerned with making sure I was happy with their product. I greatly appreciated As soon as I had made my purchase, they sent me an email to ensure I was satisfied. This will be my go-to electrode the next time I need tungsten.
It is hard to understand how such high reviews could be written about this tungsten. It's an absolute waste of time to give me this pack. Consequently, I am not just some somebody who doesn't know much, but someone who works in the welding industry. My experience with this tungsten was very disappointing. I had to reapply it constantly I need to sharpen my skills. This stuff is cheap because it is of great quality. So, I did not hesitate to order some from a welding supply website.
It is absurd to ask a patron to rate a product they have only just purchased less than two weeks ago! No one can objectively rate a product in such a short period of possession and use unless it is a complete and total garbage item. These assessments go to waste in some asinine attempt to justify a "position" for people who either are not willing to work hard enough or who have no skills other than taking up space and consuming.
As I didn't have any source of radiation handy, I purchased these to put my geiger counter to the test. As far as I can tell, these are radioactive and my geiger counter is functional. I am unable to confirm the percentage of thorium. Neither of us have tried TIG welding with these items.
I made the mistake of purchasing the wrong size of tungsten, and it was my fault. The sizes were in the wrong direction and I didn't realize it till I hooked If I had the option I would have returned it for a refund, but I know I might need the 1/16". Having ordered the proper size, I went ahead and received it.
