TIG Welders

TIG welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is a precise and versatile welding method performed using a TIG welder. The TIG welding process uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an arc that melts the workpiece and filler metal. A crucial element of this welding method is the use of shielding gas (TIG gas), which is used to protect the weld area from weakening through impurities.

What are TIG welders good for?

TIG welders offer a wide range of benefits, including:  

• Excellent control over the welding process, resulting in precise and clean welds
• High quality welds with no spatter
• Capability to weld a wide range of materials, such as, aluminium, stainless steel, and other metals
• Low heat input, which reduces the likelihood of warping, distortion or burn-through

The versatility of TIG welding allows it to be used in a range of applications, including automotive, aerospace, art and sculpture. With features like high-frequency start, AC/DC output, inverter technology, and pulse welding, TIG welding machines offer a range of capabilities for welding professionals and enthusiasts.

TIG Welders vs MIG welders?

The main differences between TIG welding and MIG welding are their precision and control versus speed and ease of use. TIG welding is well-suited for welding thin materials and exotic metals, while MIG welding is ideal for welding thicker materials and high-volume production. Both processes have their own unique features and benefits and are widely used in a variety of industries, depending on the specific welding application.
