A tungsten rod (also referred to as a tungsten electrode) is a non-consumable metal rod made from tungsten, a dense and heat-resistant metal, used in the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process. It serves as the electrode that conducts electricity to create an arc between the electrode and the workpiece. The tungsten rod does not melt during welding due to its extremely high melting point (around 3,422°C or 6,192°F), ensuring stable arc formation and high-quality welds. Depending on the material being welded, the tungsten rod may be alloyed with small amounts of other elements, such as thorium or cerium, to improve performance.
