NOTE
• It is also possible to use a gas diffuser instead of the electrode collet.
Owing to its design, it will produce a laminar gas flow.
NOTE
• The welding performance is affected by the selection of the tungsten
electrode and by wear. A smooth, groove-free sharpened end of the
tungsten electrode has a positive effect on the welding result.
