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 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.
A non-filler metal electrode used in arc welding, arc cutting and plasma spraying, made principally of tungsten.
The maximum pulling force to which the material can be subjected without failure.
