Use TIG welders for achieving exemplary results

by Longevity Inc Industrial Mechanical
Welding is a technique that is used for fusing metals. There are distinctive types of welding processes which can be categorized under arc welding, gas welding and resistance welding. In this blog, we’ll discuss about TIG welding which can be described as a type of gas welding. 

What is TIG?

TIG stands for tungsten inert gas welding and is akin to gas welding when welding technique is concerned. It is considered the most difficult form of welding process to learn as it requires the welding professional to use his both hands. Torch is held with one hand and the filler rod is manipulated with the other hand. Sometimes, a foot pedal amperage control is also used which adds another layer of difficulty. 

TIG torch is designed to provide shielding gas as well as welding current through a tungsten electrode and can be either water or air cooled. The arc created between the tungsten electrode and the metal work piece produces heat that melts the metal and makes the weld puddle. The shielding gas used is mostly argon, helium or mixture of both. 

Which materials can be welded using TIG welders?

TIG welding is used to weld a variety of metals. The metals that can be weld include stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, copper, titanium and magnesium.

Advantages of TIG welding  

There are many advantages that TIG welding offers and makes it perfect for various situations. Some of these are:

Non-consumable electrode

TIG welders use a different arc with a non-consumable electrode. There is no need for the welding professional to halt the work and replace the rod. This allows for continuous and undisturbed work which results to flawless welds.

With or without filler metal

TIG welders can work using a filler metal to create a weld fill. However, a situation wherein filler weld is not required; it can work without filler metal. 

Good for non-ferrous metals as well

These welders can easily weld nonferrous metals also such as copper, aluminum and magnesium.
