Tungsten Preparation & Sharpening<br />
For DC TIG welding, it is ideal <strong>to</strong> sharpen the tungsten electrode <strong>to</strong> a blunt point. This<br />
will help concentrate the welding arc as you complete the joint. Be sure <strong>to</strong> hold the<br />
tungsten in line with the direction the grinding wheel is turning. This will ensure the<br />
“grind marks” are running in line with the tungsten <strong>to</strong> help direct the current <strong>to</strong> the<br />
work piece.<br />
Basic Tungsten Electrode Types<br />
TIG Welding Direction of Travel and Torch Position<br />
Direction of travel should progress away from the section being welded. Torch angle<br />
should be that so the filler rod and <strong>to</strong>rch form approximately a 90 degree angle.<br />
The <strong>to</strong>rch should also be angled slightly <strong>to</strong>wards the direction you are traveling.<br />
