Due to the characteristics of tungsten, it is very suitable for TIG welding and other electrode materials similar to this kind of work. Adding rare earth oxides to metal tungsten to stimulate its electronic work function, so that the welding performance of tungsten electrodes can be improved: the arc starting performance of the electrode is better, the stability of the arc column is higher, and the electrode burn rate is smaller. Common rare earth additives include cerium oxide, lanthanum oxide, zirconium oxide, yttrium oxide, and thorium oxide.
