DC TIG Welding
Direct Current TIG Welding Mode - Professional Technical Guide
Technical Operation
Direct Current Flow Characteristics
Utilizes direct current flowing in one direction from electrode to workpiece, creating a stable and focused arc with consistent heat distribution throughout the welding process.
Electrode Configuration
Electrode remains negative (DCEN - Direct Current Electrode Negative) for optimal tungsten electrode life and superior arc stability during operation.
DCEN polarity provides exceptional arc control and tungsten longevity for professional welding applications
