TIG welding uses a tungsten electrode to create an arc between metals, with shielding gas to prevent oxidation. Argon is the preferred gas and steel and aluminum are commonly used. Different joint types can be welded, with a filler rod used for heavy metals. Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is the process of mixing reactive […]
MIG and TIG welding systems use inert shielding gas for the electrode, but differ in filler materials and electrode wear. MIG is faster and easier to learn, but messier and produces weaker welds. TIG is cleaner and stronger, but more expensive and slower. Both were developed in the 1940s for different industrial uses. A Metal […]
TIG welding requires safety precautions, including proper ventilation and safety equipment. Cleaning the metal is crucial for effective welding, and spot welding can secure pieces together before a full pass. Different weld types require different preparation and execution, and the operator’s movement can vary. TIG, or tungsten inert gas, is a type of welding process […]
Buying a used TIG welding machine can save costs, but buyers must ensure it has all required functions. TIG welding is suitable for various metals and requires consideration of job requirements and available features. Additional features, such as push-button control and pulse mode, can improve efficiency. Anyone who is an experienced welder and metal fabricator […]
TIG welding uses a tungsten electrode, inert gas, and ceramic cup to weld metal together. It offers versatility, control, and clean welds with no slag. Lower amperage and foot pedal control make it more versatile than other methods, and it can be used on various metals. The biggest advantage is its precise control, which helps […]
TIG welding uses a tungsten electrode, inert gas, and ceramic cup to weld metal together. It offers versatility, amperage utilization, and control. The low amperage torch allows for welding thin pieces of metal and complex designs without leaving noticeable weld marks. TIG welding is clean and leaves no slag. The foot pedal mechanism allows for […]
