Electrode Selection
Correct electrode selection strongly influences how weld heat is generated in the weld area. In general,
use conductive electrodes such as a RWMA-2 (Copper alloy) when welding electrically resistive parts
such as nickel or steel so that the weld heat is generated by the electrical resistance of the parts and the
contact resistance between the parts. Use resistive electrodes such as RWMA-13 (Tungsten) and
RWMA-14 (Molybdenum) to weld conductive parts such as copper and gold because conductive parts
do not generate much internal heat so the electrodes must provide external heat. Use the following
Electrode Selection Table for selecting the proper electrode materials.
