In welding copper alloys with TIG arc welding
A)
alternating current is used
B)
direct current with reversed polarity is used
C)
direct current with straight polarity is used
D)
All of the above

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   direct current with straight polarity is used


Explanation : Direct current with straight polarity (DCEN) is used when TIG welding copper alloys, the electrode is positive and the workpiece is negative. This polarity is preferred when welding copper alloys because it creates a stable arc with a deep and concentrated heat at the point of contact between the electrode and the workpiece, which helps to achieve a consistent weld.
