Barium tungsten electrodes are mainly used for certain specific applications, such as plasma welding or discharge machining, and their burnout rate (the loss rate of electrode materials caused by high temperature, arc or other factors during operation) is affected by many factors. The following are the main factors affecting the burnout rate of barium tungsten electrodes: 1. Electrode Material Composition The Role of Barium Additives: Barium is added to the tungsten matrix as a low work function material, which can…
