I-Thoriated tungsten ne-cerium tungsten zombili zingama-electrode e-tungsten wokushisela, kodwa zinezakhiwo ezihlukene kanye nezakhiwo:

1.I-tungsten ethosiwe:
-Ama-electrode e-tungsten athosiwe aqukethe inani elincane le-thorium oxide (ngokuvamile mayelana ne-1-2%). Ukwengezwa kwe-thorium kuthuthukisa izici zokukhishwa kwe-electron ye-electrode, okwenza kube lula ukuqala nokugcina i-arc welding.
-Thoriated tungsten yaziwa ngokuthwala kwayo okuphezulu kwamanje, ukuzinza okuhle kwe-arc nempilo ende. Isetshenziswa kakhulu ezinhlelweni zokushisela ze-DC, ikakhulukazi ezintweni zokushisela ezifana ne-carbon steel, insimbi engagqwali, ama-nickel alloys kanye ne-titanium.

2. I-Tungsten cerium:
- Ama-electrode e-cerium tungsten aqukethe i-cerium oxide njenge-alloying element. Izingoma ezivamile ze-cerium tungsten ziqukethe i-cerium oxide engu-1.5-2%.
- I-Cerium tungsten inokuqala okuhle kwe-arc nokuzinza, ikakhulukazi ezinhlelweni zokushisela zamanje eziphansi. Ifanele i-AC ne-DC welding ngakho-ke ifanele izinto ezihlukahlukene kanye nezinqubo zokushisela.
- I-cerium tungsten ivame ukukhethwa njengenye indlela engeyona imisebe ye-thorium tungsten ukuze kubhekwane nokukhathazeka mayelana nezingozi zempilo ezingaba khona ezihlobene nokuchayeka kwe-thorium.

Kafushane, ngenkathi womabili ama-electrode e-tungsten athobile kanye nama-electrode e-cerium tungsten esetshenziswa ekushiseleni, anezingoma ezihlukene futhi afanele izicelo nezimo zokushisela ezahlukene. I-Thoriated tungsten yaziwa ngomthamo wayo ophezulu wokuthwala wamanje futhi ivame ukusetshenziswa ekushiseleni i-DC, kuyilapho i-cerium tungsten inesiqalo esihle se-arc nokuzinza futhi ifanele kokubili i-AC ne-DC.
