TIG welding (gas tungsten arc welding) is one of the most versatile technologies for welding metal products with tungsten electrodes. Today, TIG welding is widely used in heavy industry, manufacturing, automotive service centers, and other applications.
Applications of TIG welding
TIG welding is one of the most versatile welding methods because it can reliably join various types of metal. In some cases, it can even join dissimilar alloys.
TIG welding is mainly used for stainless steel and non-ferrous metals. This is related to the characteristics of the process. Welding takes place in an inert-gas environment without oxygen, a powerful oxidizer. When argon enters the weld pool, it displaces the air and creates optimal conditions for welding without scale. TIG welding also joins metal parts made from other alloys, creating bimetallic joints, which makes it a versatile process for almost any application.
One of the main advantages of TIG welding is the ability to weld thin-walled parts, pipes, and thin profiles, which is not possible in the same way with conventional arc welding.
