rgely upon the kind of vapor in thearc and, to some extent, upon the ease with which the cathode(negative electrode) can be kept at a high temperature. If theanode (positive electrode) gives off a conducting vapor when heated,this vapor will help the conductivity of the arc. In the arc-welding 327… … Fig. 52. Striking the ArcCourtesy of Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company the negative electrode, it is more efficient to use the article workedupon as the positive electrode of the arc. Since iron is more easilyvaporized than carbon, the current flows more easily from iron tocarbon than…
