and visible at the torch.
Check cable and work connections. Be sure weld circuit is complete (see Section 3-3).
Check and be sure shielding gas is present.
Lack of high frequency; difficulty in es-
tablishing arc.
Select proper size and type tungsten. Properly prepare tungsten according to Section 5.
Check cables and torch for cracks or bad connections. Be sure that torch cables are not close to any
grounded metal. Repair or replace necessary parts.

Tungsten electrode oxidizing and not re-
maining bright after conclusion of weld.
Shield weld zone from drafts.
