TIG welding requires Tungsten Electrodes to have
perfectly ground and polished tips. HFT®’s TEG-1000
provides these, time after time, to exactly the same
size and shape.
The diamond wheel grinds the Tungsten Electrodes’
longitudinally, preventing arc flicker or wander
caused by circumferential lines or ridges found on
electrodes, which have been ground incorrectly.
With Tungsten Electrodes ground and polished,
mechanised welding can produce identical results
every time. With manual welding, the shape of
the Tungsten Electrode is just as important. With
a correctly shaped tip, the arc can be precisely
positioned with none of the preferential arcing
experienced when using poorly shaped manually
ground tips.
present in standard red tipped Tungsten Electrodes.
MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes are non-radiotoxic,
non-thoriated, non-carcinogenic. They will also
strike 10 times more arcs than red tipped thoriated
tungsten, when tested under identical conditions.
Eliminate the thoriated dust in the atmosphere by
changing to MultiStrike® Tungstens so that when
there is tungsten grinding dust, it is not radiotoxic.

Electrodes that are designed to address the growing
concerns about the radio-toxic thoria that is
