In welding copper alloys with TIG arc welding
direct current with straight polarity is used
direct current with reversed polarity is used
alternating current is used
any one of these
Answer: Option
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.

And strait polarity for thin and low melting base metals.

In this used only DC current & strait polarity used for thin base metal.

DC with reverse polarity used for magnesium.

The AC is more versatile in welding for steel, cast iron, AL & Mg.

AC - used for non-ferrous metal except copper.

DC WITH STRAIGHT POLARITY - used for ferrous metal and also for copper.
