Q: What are the advantages of tungsten rods in welding?

A: Tungsten rods, especially in TIG welding, offer a high melting point, stability, and non-consumable properties. These features contribute to precise and clean welds.

Q: Why does tungsten wire glow?

A: The typical incandescent light bulb contains a thin wire (usually tungsten) called a filament that has a high electrical resistance. This filament gets very hot when an electric current passes through it. The intense temperature makes the filament glow brightly.

Q: Can we use tungsten wire to make an electric circuit?

A: Tungsten metal cannot be used in fuses, only in light bulbs, because fuses have only one purpose, which is to melt when the current exceeds the limit, but since tungsten is an alloy, its melting point and resistivity are very high, which makes it difficult to melt, so it cannot play the role of a fuse.
