Grinding
Grind tungsten electrodes according to the following table:
NOTE
that tungsten electrodes must be ground lengthways. If they are ground
incorrectly the arc may be unstable. When the welding current is increased the angle
must also be increased.
When welding with alternating current (AC) the electrode end must be gently
rounded. Grinding the electrode is then unnecessary. Light grading of the edge is
sufficient. The electrode forms itself if it is carefully overloaded. If the tip becomes
ball shaped while welding using alternating current, this is a sign that the current is
too high for the diameter of electrode being used.
