browsing through the local welding supply i noticed a selection of "annealed" and "unannealed" tungsten electrodes.
can anyone tell me what the difference is? i've found no reference to annealing in my books.
the 'unannealed' 10packs were labeled 'WP Pure Tungesten' (ANSI AWS A5.12-98 / ISO 6848) ... with a Lot# and ID.
the 'annealed' ones were not labeled at all.
thanks,
