Re: tungsten alloys for SG electrodes?

Hey David...

once you get into the realm of pureish tungsten the only methods of "machining" it is grinding.. and snapping which is not too precise... but grinding is precise... down to .001 inch

the general rule is 1/8 inch loss on each side of the due to snapping and .020 loss due to grinding loss to remove the conical/wedge produced from snapping... so the best bet is to consider a ..395 " loss on each end ( worst case senerio) to make all electrodes equal....
