Because it will have you a lot more control over the whole process and it is more forgiving in case you do anything wrong.
Best tungsten for sheet metal.
With good heat resistance tungsten is usually used in high temperature applications.
It also has the highest melting point lowest vapor pressure and the highest tensile strength of all the elements.
The process utilizes a non consumable tungsten electrode that relays current to the welding arc.
After going through the mixing pressing and sintering process tungsten is combined with the other metal elements beginning as a form of powders.
