HFT TEG-1000
Savings can be achieved because of the increased life of properly ground Tungsten Electrodes. With the special collet accessory, shorter Tungsten Electrodes can be held, significantly increasing the length of life of each Tungsten Electrode before it is discarded.
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’ longitu- dinally, preventing arc flicker or wander caused by circumferential lines or ridges found on electrodes, which have been ground incor- rectly.
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 cor- rectly shaped tip, the arc can be
precisely positioned with none of the preferential arcing experienced when using poorly shaped manu- ally ground tips.
HFT® also manufacture MultiSt- rike® Tungsten Electrodes that are designed to address the growing concerns about the radio-toxic thoria that is 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.

Supplementary Gas Shielding with an Argweld® Weld Trailing Shield
Eliminating oxidation and discol- ouration when welding stainless and duplex steels as well as tita- nium, zirconium and nickel alloys is crucial in many industries today, because of improving quality control procedures. Welds have to be free from metallurgical defects otherwise they can potentially be rejected, often leading to a signifi- cant loss in time and resources.
The quality of welds on tubes, pipes and flat sheet metal can be dramatically improved with the addition of a low cost Weld Trailing Shield®.
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have designed and developed Argweld® flat and radiused Trail- ing Shields® which simply attach onto any TIG/GTAW, PAW/Plasma and MIG/GMAW welding torch,
providing an additional inert gas coverage during welding of reac- tive metals where discolouration or oxidation needs to be eliminated.
Luke Keane, Technical Sales Manager for HFT® said: “The addi- tion of a low cost Trailing Shields® ensures that the weld stays under a protective argon gas cover- age, while the hot weld metal is cooling, preventing it from oxidis-
