    Tig welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and inert shielding gas to produce high quality, precise welds on a variety of metals and alloys. An inert gas, such as argon or helium, protects the hot tungsten and weld area from oxidation. While it allows for pinpoint control and aesthetic results, Tig welding has slower travel speeds and lower deposition rates than other processes and requires hand-eye coordination.

    Tig Welding / GTAW

    Tungsten Inert Gas


    What is Tig
    Tig welding uses a NON-consumable tungsten or tungsten alloy electrode
    Filler metal is added by hand or by a cold wire feeder
    Inert shielding gas protects the weld and tungsten

    Gas - Argon or Helium

    10,000 Degrees
    Pros
    High Quality and Precision
    Pinpoint Control
    Aesthetic Weld Beads
    No Sparks or Spatter
    No Flux or Slag
    No Smoke or Fumes
    Welds more metals and metal alloys than any other process
    Cons
    Slower Travel Speeds than other Processes
    Lower filler metal deposition rates
    Hand eye coordination is a required skill
    Brighter uv rays than other processes
    Equipment costs can be higher
    Parts
    Collet Body - threads into the head of the torch and aligns the tungsten in the gas cup
    Gas Cup (nozzle) - Attached to the collet body, either threaded or held in place by friction fit. Directs
    shielding gas flow weld area
    Collet - Insert into collet body and secures the tungsten electrode
    Polarity
    AC - Alloy Metals
    DC - Ferris Metals

    AC - 30 (gun) 70 (ground)
