Pure tungsten electrodes, as one of the earliest electrodes used in argon arc welding, have consistently played a significant role in the welding industry. This type of electrode, characterized by its high melting point, high density, corrosion resistance, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, has become an indispensable key material under specific welding conditions. Pure tungsten electrodes contain up to 99.5% tungsten. This high purity tungsten material provides the electrode with a very high electron work function but also poses…
