Tungsten electrodes and more for welding industry
DGP provides precise and consistent CNC parts from low volumes prototype to high-volume production and from the simplest rods to complex fabrications with the strictest tolerances.
A recent study by students at the Conestoga College Welding Engineering program in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada pitted Tri-Mix tungsten against an array of tungsten including Thoriated, Ceriated, and Pure.
The results were dramatic, and Tri-Mix tungsten was the winner.
According to Jim Elizarraz, President of DGP, "Tri-Mix offers stability and consistency to increase weld quality and service life dramatically.
It increases the number or arc starts and decreases the amount of misfires.
It features a low work function, so it requires less energy to start and runs cooler than other tungsten.
Finally unlike 2% Thoriated, Tri-Mix is also a non-radioactive tungsten".
