Development history of argon arc welding tungsten electrode in China

Mar 23, 2023

Argon arc welding tungsten electrode is a new type of high temperature wear-resistant electrode, which can be traced back to the 1950s in China.

 

During this period, China began to vigorously develop electric power and industry, and argon arc welding, as an important technology, also began to gain widespread attention. At that time, argon arc welding tungsten electrodes were imported from abroad, it was difficult to maintain a stable supply. To solve this problem, China began to develop its own tungsten electrodes.

 

China began mass production of tungsten electrodes in the 1960s. However, at that time, the manufacturing process of tungsten electrode was relatively simple and rough, which often resulted in fracture or short life.

 

In order to improve the quality of tungsten electrodes, China began to upgrade the technology. In the 1970s, China began using infrared radiation materials to make tungsten electrodes, which have a higher melting point and better thermal conductivity. During this period, the quality of argon arc welding tungsten electrode has been greatly improved and widely used in various industrial fields.

 

By the 1980s, with the development of electronics industry, argon arc welding tungsten electrode has been more and more widely used. At this time, China began to use nano-tungsten powder to make tungsten electrodes, which had better thermal stability and abrasion resistance. The appearance of this technology has greatly improved the performance and life of argon arc welding tungsten electrode, making it one of the main materials in the electronic industry.

 

Today, argon arc welding tungsten electrode has become one of the important materials in China's manufacturing industry, widely used in aviation, chemical industry, shipbuilding, electronics and automobile manufacturing and other fields. In the future, with the continuous upgrading of technology, the performance and application range of argon arc welding tungsten electrode will be further expanded.
