In November 2019, AMI, a brand of ESAB launched orbistar tungsten electrodes for enhanced orbital tig equipment performance. The product is was manufactured by collaborating with Wolfram Industrie which is a manufacturer of premium tungstens and molybdenum materials. The product facilitates the superior arc stability and arc starting performance due to its purity, controlled grain size & manufacturing process and others.
In October 2016, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques developed the Multistrike Tungsten Electrodes which increases the efficiency and reduce the risk to health during the welding process. The product contains the mixture of non-radioactive rare earth elements which lower down the working temperature of tungsten electrode. It can be used for welding aluminum with the AC process and steel & alloys with DC process.
In April 2014, Astara Inc. acquired the Anviloy business segment from CMW International Inc. The acquisition aimed to expand the business of Astara Inc. into tungsten. The business segment includes E3 tungsten electrodes, Anviloy materials and Anviloy specialty welding rods for repair tool steel.
