Re: [TCML] Tungsten Electrode Dust



Phil,

Since I've never tested it, I can't say for absolute certain, but I would expect the white dust to represent an oxide product of the electrodes, which would almost certainly be non-conductive.

All,
Does anyone know for fact if the fine white dust that you find around a
rotary spark gap, from the ablation of the electrodes, is actually
conductive? One supposes it is, but logic and reality can be differant.
