Tungsten Inert Gas welding, more commonly referred to by its acronym TIG, uses a tungsten electrode that heats the metal being used during the welding process. A gas, such as argon, is used to avoid contamination while you’re welding no matter the metal material being used or its thickness. More versatile than other welding methods, TIG welding can be used with a wider range of metals than other types of welding. TIG welding is known for appearing clean and its precision which leaves the weld looking great. TIG welding allows for the welder to control the heat by use of a foot pedal creating more control. What’s more, TIG welding will not create fumes, sparks, or fumes that sometimes occur with other welding methods.
Because of TIG welding’s ability to work with a large number of metals, it is used in many industries and applications. Some of the most common industries that use TIG welding for creation and repair of components and equipment, include:
• Art
• Repair
• Automotive
• Aerospace
