TIG welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding, is a versatile technology for welding metal products using tungsten electrodes. Today, TIG welding is widely used in heavy industry, manufacturing, automotive service centers, and many other applications.
TIG welding applications
TIG welding is one of the most versatile welding methods because it can reliably join different types of metal, such as steel). In some cases, it can also be used to weld dissimilar alloys together.
TIG welding is mainly used for stainless steel and non-ferrous metals. This is due to the characteristics of the process. TIG welding takes place in an inert-gas atmosphere without oxygen, which is a powerful oxidizer. When argon enters the weld zone, it displaces the air and creates optimal conditions for welding without scale. TIG welding also performs well on metal parts made from other alloys, creating bimetallic joints. It is therefore versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.
One of the main advantages of TIG welding is the ability to weld thin-walled parts, tubes, and thin profiles, which is not possible with conventional arc-welding modes.
