SECTION 7 − SELECTING AND PREPARING A TUNGSTEN
FOR DC OR AC PHASE MACHINE WELDING
!
Whenever possible and practical, use DC weld output instead of AC weld output.
7-1. Selecting Tungsten Electrode (
A. Select Tungsten Electrode
.
Not all tungsten electrode manufacturers use the same colors to identify tungsten type. Contact the tungsten electrode manufacturer or refer-
ence the product packaging to identify the tungsten you are using.

Typical argon shielding gas flow rates are 10 to 25 CFH (cubic feet per hour).
Figures listed are a guide and are a composite of recommendations from American Welding Society (AWS).
7-2. Preparing Tungsten Electrode For Welding With Phase Control Machines
!
Grinding the tungsten electrode produces dust and flying sparks which can cause injury and start fires. Use
local exhaust (forced ventilation) at the grinder or wear an approved respirator. Read MSDS for safety infor-
mation. Consider using tungsten containing ceria, lanthana, or yttria instead of thoria. Grinding dust from
thoriated electrodes contains low-level radioactive material. Properly dispose of grinder dust in an environ-
mentally safe way. Wear proper face, hand, and body protection. Keep flammables away.

Grinding Wheel
Grind end of tungsten on fine grit, hard
abrasive wheel before welding. Do not use
wheel for other jobs or tungsten can become
contaminated causing lower weld quality.
