Comparison of white and green tungsten electrodes for aluminum welding
Greetings from Schweißfan,
Comparison of white and green tungsten electrodes for aluminum welding
I’ll be honest, until recently I didn’t even know that a white tungsten electrode existed. So of course I’m all the more pleased to be able to tell you about it and tell you what cool advantages it has.
I mainly use the green tungsten electrode for aluminum welding, and you probably already know that this is actually the optimum needle for aluminum welding. Why the green needle, In this case, the Carlotta forms best at the front at the tip. And this makes it easy to weld aluminum perfectly.
Yes, and what is the white electrode doing now? It always depends on what kind of aluminum you want to weld, for example, I weld a lot of old aluminum that is dirty and used. As a result, I naturally set a greater cleaning effect in my welding machine so that it can be welded optimally and cleanly. The disadvantage of this setting is that the carrot formation with a green needle is very large and it starts to become unstable at higher amperages.

And now comes the advantage of the white way needle. This is not the case with this one and the Carlotta remains nice and small. Of course, this is a sign that this way needle is not as brittle as the green one. I have therefore had an extremely good experience with this winding needle and can only warmly recommend it to you. I have also made a video on the subject, which can be found below.
Here is the whole thing again as a video
So I hope I was able to help you with the comparison of white and green tungsten electrodes for aluminum welding. I would be delighted to receive your feedback. And if you would like to find out and see more about welding, then take a look at our channels. Welding is a daily topic there.
