W1 pure tungsten electrode bar for welding

Short Description:

Pure tungsten electrodes are suitable for welding aluminum and magnesium alloys and applications requiring a stable arc and consistent weld quality. Pure tungsten’s high melting point and electrical conductivity make it ideally suited to withstand the high temperatures and electrical currents encountered during welding.

  • Can tungsten be welded?

Tungsten itself is a refractory metal with a very high melting point, so it is usually not welded using traditional welding methods.  However, tungsten can be joined using specialized processes such as diffusion bonding, friction welding or electron beam welding.  These methods are used to join tungsten to other materials or to join tungsten parts together. 

Additionally, tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) is a common method of welding using a tungsten electrode, but the process involves using tungsten as the electrode rather than welding the tungsten itself.

  • Can you use pure tungsten to weld stainless steel?

 Yes, pure tungsten can be used to weld stainless steel.  Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG), also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), is commonly used to weld stainless steel, and pure tungsten electrodes are often used in this process.  Pure tungsten's high melting point and stability make it suitable for welding stainless steel, providing clean, precise welds. 

However, when welding stainless steel, it is important to ensure that the tungsten electrode is not contaminated with any other materials to maintain welding quality.

  • What is the safe working temperature of tungsten?

The safe operating temperature of tungsten is generally considered to be approximately 1,500°C (2,700°F).  At this temperature, tungsten retains its mechanical strength and other desirable properties, making it suitable for a variety of high-temperature applications such as furnaces, aerospace components and electrical contacts. 

However, it is worth noting that the specific safe operating temp erature may vary depending on the application and the specific grade of tungsten used.
