  1. TIG Welding

  2. Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is the process of blending together reactive metals, such as magnesium and aluminum. During the welding process, an arc is formed between a pointed tungsten electrode and the area to be welded. In TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, a tungsten electrode heats the metal you are welding and gas (most commonly Argon) protects the weld puddle from airborne contaminants.

  3. TIG welding produces clean, precise welds on any metal. • TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten • Filler metal, when required, is added by hand • Shielding gas protects the weld and tungsten • Produces high quality, clean welds • Welds more metals than any other process • Using the TIG welding process, a person can perform a variety of weld types on a number of different metals, although steel and aluminum are the most widely used.

  4. Characteristics of the TIG welding process • Uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode during the welding process, • Uses a number of shielding gases including helium (He) and argon (Ar), • Is easily applied to thin materials, • Produces very high-quality, superior welds, • Welds can be made with or without filler metal, • Provides precise control of welding variables (i.e. heat), • Welding yields low distortion & Leaves no slag or splatter.

  5. TIG welding allows you to create clean welds when appearances count. Because the heat input is often controlled by pressing on a foot pedal, similar to driving a car, TIG welding allows you to heat up or cool down the weld puddle giving you precise weld bead control. This makes TIG welding ideal for cosmetic welds like sculptures, architectural and automotive welds.

  6. Advantages of TIG Welding • Cleaner - Using Tungsten to provide its electrical current, TIG welding decreases the amount of sparks, smoke and fumes produced.  • Precision - TIG welding has less contamination in its weld, providing more precise and higher quality welds. • Autogenous Welds - These welds do not require a filler material to be used.  TIG welding can create a weld by melting one part to the other.  Autogenous welds are most commonly used when welding thinner materials.
