Multi Strike® Tungsten Electrode - Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®

Tungsten Electrode Performance

Tungsten Electrode: They are one of the most important consumables for all Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding. Careful selection and preparation can lead to an increase in electrode life and better welds. 1. Choose the right diameter Table 1 can be used to determine the electrode diameter best suited to the welding current you are […]

Tungsten Electrode Grinder for perfectly ground Tungsten Electrodes

Tungsten Electrode Grinder: Correctly preparing each Tungsten Electrode for welding is crucial. It is one of the most important variables in TIG / GTA welding and each Tungsten Electrode must be ground properly to improve arc starting, stability and subsequently weld quality. Manufactured with a diamond wheel, the TEG-1000 Tungsten Electrode Grinder from Huntingdon Fusion […]

For Tungsten Electrodes Choose MultiStrike®

MultiStrike Tungsten Electrodes are designed to address the growing concerns about the radio-toxic thoria that is present in standard red tipped tungsten electrodes, MultiStrike's are non radio-toxic, non-thoriated and non-carcinogenic. They will strike 10 times more arcs than red tipped thoriated tungstens, when tested under identical conditions. They are suitable for a wide variety of welding […]

A Safe Tungsten Electrode

Earlier in the year, The Health and Safety Executive issued a safety alert as a result of new scientific evidence, which suggests that exposure to welding fume, including mild steel welding fume, can cause lung cancer. Bulletin N. STSU1 – 2019 “All businesses undertaking welding activities should ensure effective engineering controls are provided and correctly […]

Tungsten Electrode Grinder from HFT®

Tungsten Electrode Grinder: The Tungsten Electrode is one of the most important variables involved in TIG welding. Preparing your Tungsten Electrode correctly will help to improve arc starting, arc stability and consequently weld quality. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have been manufacturing Tungsten Electrode Grinders since the 1980’s. Just look how far we’ve come… Above is […]

Welding Fume Exposure: HSE Issues Safety Alert

Welding Fume Exposure: The Health and Safety Executive has issued a safety alert as a result of new scientific evidence, which suggests that exposure to welding fume, including mild steel welding fume, can cause lung cancer. In addition, there are warnings about thoriated tungsten electrodes (see below). Bulletin N. STSU1 - 2019 “All businesses undertaking […]

Switch to MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes and eliminate radiotoxic thoria

Tungsten Electrodes are widely in use for TIG/GTAW Welding. Tungsten is a rare metallic element used for manufacturing the electrodes for striking and maintaining the arc in this process. Tungsten is chosen for producing the welding arc because of its hardness and high-temperature resistance to carry the welding current to the arc. Tungsten has the […]

Welding Week 2015

The Welding Week Exhibition in Antwerp Expo, Belgium is over for another four years and it was a fantastic turnout. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® were there on the Pipeq Pipework Equipment stand, supporting our Exclusive Distributor for the Benelux. There was a lot of enquires about our range of weld purging products and live demonstrations […]

A safe alternative Tungsten Electrode to the market place

A leading welder training institute, ITCA, has congratulated HFT® for bringing a safe alternative Tungsten Electrode to the market place. Coshh, the Law that requires Companies to identify materials that can be harmful to health, has provided guidelines about thoriated (red tipped) tungsten electrodes, which doesn't make very cheerful reading, according to Colin Sherrifs, one […]

New Multi Strike® Tungsten Electrode Leaflet

New Multi Strike® Tungsten Electrode Leaflet: The new four page Multi Strike® Tungsten Electrode leaflet, shows pictures of the radiation monitor indicating the high levels of radiation from thoriated tungsten electrodes and just a really low background radiation level being emitted by the Multi Strikes® This month we have also received some new accolades from […]
