Composite tungsten electrode is produced to meet more stringent requirements on tungsten electrode materials in welding industry – higher reliability and stability. In general, the arcing characteristics of composite tungsten electrode are better than that of tungsten electrode. And among composite tungsten electrode, ternary composite tungsten electrode has better performance than binary composite tungsten electrode. The optimal rare earth oxide ratio of ternary composite tungsten electrode is La2O3: CeO2: Y2O3=1:1:3. The performance of several tungsten electrodes mixed with rare earth…
