TIG welding, or Tungsten Inert Gas welding, is an arc welding process that uses tungsten electrodes to produce welds using an external gas supply. The weld area is shielded from oxidation using an inert shielding gas fed through a supply line and manually fed filler rod. TIG welders don’t require a wire feeder and therefore make them a much more compact welding solution, and perfect for a wide range of applications. High quality TIG welding requires not only skill but the use of a good quality TIG welding torch. TIG welding torches are made up of quite a few intricate parts, including the TIG torch handle, torch body, hose assembly, tungsten electrode, collet, and alumina cups. Each of these areas plays a role in the reliability of the TIG Torch and the quality of the welds. It is best to choose a quality TIG Torch, rather than basing your decision on price alone.

TIG Welding Benefits

Provides precise, high-quality welds
Preferred for architectural or automotive welding work
Aesthetic-driven weld beads – achieve a seamless look
Allows heat input adjustment with a foot control
Hardest welding process to learn

Metals that can be TIG welded include steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloys, chromoly, copper, brass and exotic metals such as titanium and magnesium.
