AMI, a brand of ESAB expand its presence in tungsten electrode market with launch of orbistar tungsten electrodes
Advancement
in technology is playing a key role in the overall development of the tungsten
electrode market. For instance, In November 2019, AMI, a brand of ESAB launched
orbistar tungsten electrodes for enhanced orbital tig equipment performance.
The product is was manufactured by collaborating with Wolfram Industrie which
is a manufacturer of premium tungstens and molybdenum materials. The product
facilitates superior arc stability and arc starting performance due to its
purity, controlled grain size & manufacturing process, and others.
Increasing demand from welding applications is again fostering the growth of
the market. Tungsten electrodes are alloyed with metals such as stainless
steel, and nickel. Moreover, it also reduces exposure during welding. This
advantage is projected to propel the growth of the tungsten electrodes market.
In November 2019, AMI, an ESAB
brand, has collaborated with Wolfram Industrie, a vertically integrated
manufacturer of premium tungsten and molybdenum materials, to offer an
exclusive line of tungsten electrodes for orbital TIG welding.
North
America is expected to hold a dominant position in the global tungsten
electrodes market owing to the
presence of key players such as Astaras, Inc., and Diamond Ground Products in
the region. For instance, Astaras, Inc.
one of the leaders in market offer tungsten electrodes for application of MIG
and TIG welding in North America. The company also offers new tungsten
electrodes such as E3 tungsten electrodes in the region.
Key
players engaged in the global tungsten electrode market are Diamond Ground
Products, Weldstone, Winner Tungsten Products Co. Ltd., Astaras, Inc.,
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques, BGRIMM Advanced Materials Science &
Technology Co., Ltd., Metal Cutting, Sunrain Tungsten, and ATTL Advanced
Materials Co., Ltd.
Tungsten
electrodes are usually used when welding with the Tungsten inert gas (TIG). In
both procedures, the electrode, the weld, and arc pool are highly protected
from airborne contamination by inert gas. Tungsten electrodes are used mainly
because it is able to withstand extremely high temperature with little erosion
or melting. It is the ability to resist high temperature that has made tungsten
electrodes so popular in welding processes like tig welding, arc welding, and
plasma arc welding, and even in some instances of hot metal arc welding (MHW).
This property also makes them suitable for high-temperature coating and
shielding of other metals as well. The fact that tungsten electrodes can be
welded with almost any alloy makes them highly compatible with a wide range of
metal alloys. They are a very good conductor of electricity and have very
little loss of current.
