The tip angle of the tungsten electrode has a direct impact on the arc shape, and the specific relationship is as follows:
1.Sharp Angle (small Angle, Such As Around 15°)
The arc is more concentrated and elongated.
Suitable for thin plate welding or where fine control of heat input is required.
The arc energy is concentrated, the heat-affected zone is smaller, and the weld is formed narrower and deeper.
2.Blunt Angle (large Angle, Such As 60° Or Even 90°)
The arc shape is wide and dispersed.
Suitable for thick plates or high-current welding, the arc is more stable and durable.
The heat input is more uniformly distributed, but the heat-affected zone is larger, and the weld width increases.
3.Intermediate Angle (such As 30°~45°)
Balanced with concentration and dispersion, suitable for a variety of welding needs, balancing arc stability and heat input control.
