Abstract
It has been established that in the case of using a welding torch, in which the shielding nozzle and collet are located over the gap, and only the tungsten electrode is introduced into the gap, the controlling magnetic field exerts a substantial force effect on the electrode. This circumstance should be taken into account, along with the value of the current load, to ensure reliable operation of the electrode
Keywords: TIG welding, narrow gap, tungsten electrode, magnetic field, magnetically impelled arc, deformation of electrode, electrode diameter
