Maximum Arc Welding Temperature: Essential Tips and Facts for Welders
The maximum arc welding temperature depends on the type of electrode used. For carbon electrodes, the cathode temperature reaches about 3200°C, while the anode temperature is around 1900°C. For metal electrodes, the cathode can reach approximately 2400°C and the anode about 2600°C. The center of the arc can attain temperatures from 5000°C to 6000°C. Welders … Read more
