Tungsten is a dense, silvery-white metal known for its remarkable strength, high melting point (over 3,400°C), and resistance to corrosion. It is primarily used in applications that require durability and heat resistance, such as in light bulb filaments, electrical contacts, and aerospace components. Its atomic number is 74, and its symbol is W. Tungsten is also used in alloys for cutting tools, military applications, and radiation shielding. Follow (us) @scigeniushub to know how things work. #v

Tungsten: The Metal with the Highest Melting Point

The way you grind your tungsten has a direct impact on arc stability and your weld quality. Surface finish matters more than most realize, and even small imperfections can cause a wandering or unstable arc. When tungsten is ground on a bench grinder, the surface often ends up uneven. Instead of smooth, longitudinal grind marks, you get flat spots, ridges, and inconsistent grooves across the tip. These surface imperfections cause several problems: - Arc wandering: The arc struggles to stay focuse
