TUFFALOY Copper-tungsten and copper-molybdenum
faced tips withstand greater heat and pressure, at the expense of some
conductivity. Besides being used for spot welding high resistance base metals,
they are useful in achieving "heat balance" when welding dissimilar metals.
(The higher resistance electrode is used against the lower resistance, or
thinner member, to help contain the heat generated.) They have the same
diameters and tapers as the standard straight tips in this catalog. Bodies are
of Class 2 alloy. Lengths and nose configurations other than those shown can
be ordered.
