The Benefits of TIG Welding

TIG stands for tungsten inert gas and its technical name is gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The tungsten electrode delivers a current to the welding arc and is itself non-consumable. The tungsten electrode is protected (shielded from oxygen) by the inert shielding gas, which is commonly argon.

Unlike MIG welding, with TIG welding the gas does not impact on the weld finish, and the weld finishes are usually high quality and clean. TIG is additionally advantageous due to the non-consumable tungsten, meaning that the electrode does not need to be continuously replaced. In addition, TIG welding can weld more metals than any other process, including steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, gold and aluminium, to name a few. It is a versatile welding process suitable for a multitude of applications.

TIG welding does not require a flux due to the shielding nature of the argon gas used and there is minimal smoke and fumes from this type of welding, although this does also depend on how clean the metal is that is being welded. For this reason, TIG welding shielding gas is an essential part of the process.

Finally, TIG welding can be performed in a variety of positions such as flat, overhead and vertical welds. This flexibility of TIG welding further enhances its ability to be used across a range of industries and applications. From building aircraft or roll cages to repairing tools to creating art, TIG can be used for most industries and with most metal types.
