properties /electrode tip diameter
which layer
also called electrode layer · tip, core or inlay
WHICH LAYER of one electrode a material or a diameter is about. It exists because a maker publishes two different metals for the same electrode: NGK gives the BUHW (2622) an "Electrode Tip Material: Tungsten" and an "Electrode Core Material: Copper" on one centre electrode, and the Ruthenium HX a ruthenium fine wire over a copper core. With `electrode_side` alone those two statements are unordered, and the pool would say only that the centre electrode is somehow copper and tungsten. NOT REQUIRED, deliberately: a maker who publishes just "iridium centre electrode" has stated no layer, and forcing one would invent a fact the sheet does not carry.
Which layer is answered with one word chosen from the electrode layers list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
It is a qualifier of electrode tip diameter — it has meaning only inside a electrode tip diameter statement, one per statement, never on its own. It belongs with electrode tip diameter to measurement — its measurable, physical facts.
It is answered inside every electrode tip diameter statement, not as a standalone question on a kind.
