CHARACTERISTICS OF CURRENT TYPES FOR GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING When TIG welding, there are three choices of welding current. They are: Direct Current Straight Polarity, Direct Current Reverse Polarity, and Alternating Current with High Frequency stabilization. Each of these has its applications, advantages, and disadvantages. A look at each type and its uses will help the operator select the best current type for the job. The type of current used will have a great effect on the penetration pattern as well as the bead configuration. The diagrams below, show arc characteristics of each current polarity type. TIG welding with ACHF (alternating current high TIG welding with DCRP (direct current reverse TIG welding with DCSP (direct current straight frequency) combines the good weld penetration polarity) produces good cleaning action as the polarity) produces deep penetration because it on the negative half cycle with the desired argon ions f lowing towards the work strike with concentrates the heat in the joint area. No cleaning action of the positive half cycle. High sufficient force to break up oxides on the surface. cleaning action occurs with this polarity. frequency reestablishes the arc which breaks each half cycle. DC TIG DC TIG AC TIG POWER SUPPLY
