The maximum pulling force to which the material can be subjected without failure.
Welding Tech
A non-filler metal electrode used in arc welding, arc cutting and plasma spraying, made principally of tungsten.
A shielding gas consisting of approximately 90% helium, 7-1/2% argon, and 2-1/2% carbon dioxide used primarily for short-circuiting arc welding of stainless steels. Maintains corrosion resistance of the stainless steel and produces good wetting and excellent weld bead shape.
The angle less than 90 degrees between the electrode axis and a line perpendicular to the weld axis, in a plane determined by the electrode axis and the weld axis. This angle can also be used to partially define the position of guns, torches, rods, and beams.
A weld test specimen with its major axis perpendicular to the weld axis.
