TIG welding: TIG welding is a common welding method used to weld stainless steel, aluminium and other metal materials. In TIG welding, a tungsten electrode acts as an arc former and as a conductive medium for the welding current.

Gas Shielded Metal Arc Welding (GMAW, also known as MIG/MAG welding): In GMAW welding, the tungsten electrode is not directly involved in the formation of the arc, but rather serves as an arc guide for guiding the arc between the torch and the weld material. This welding method is typically used to weld materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

Plasma Cutting: Tungsten electrodes are also used as a key component in the plasma cutting process. In plasma cutting, the metal is cut by forming a plasma arc on the surface of the workpiece, and the tungsten electrode plays a key role in guiding and conducting electricity during this process.

Plasma Welding: In the plasma welding process, tungsten electrodes are used to generate and maintain a high-temperature plasma arc to melt and join the metal workpieces. This welding method is commonly used for welding materials such as high temperature alloys and stainless steel.

Cladding: In the cladding process, tungsten electrodes are used to generate a high-temperature arc to melt welding rods or wires, which are sprayed onto the surface of the base material to improve surface hardness, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance.
