The tip of the tungsten electrode has to be hot in GTAW because you are trying to weld two pieces of metal together, and that takes a lot of heat.
tungsten has high resistivity and resistance but at a higher temperature it becomes hot and oxidised and melted so we can't use tungsten as heating coil
tungsten is a poor conductor of electricity,tungsten glows when electrical energy from the energy source is flowing through the conductor of electricity and when electrical energy reach the metal filament(tungsten) the tungsten gets electrical energy and produce heat when it became white-hot and the tungsten glows the glows is called light.

Tungsten :)
Usually a Tungsten alloy.
Because it can be heated white hot w/o being consumed.
What is mean by thermionic generation is that electricity is created as a hot electrode will emit electrons onto a cold electrode. Elements like cesium are often used to help bridge the gap and improve the output.
They shouldn't. When using the correct electrode and amperage they will get hot but not red hot. Uncoated electrodes do get red hot but are not used in most applications. Too much amperage is usually the problem.
It's the small coil of very fine tungsten wire that glows white hot.
