An Introduction to TIG Welding

A tungsten electrode heats metal like steel, stainless steel, magnesium etc for welding purpose and Argon gas protects the weld puddle from airborne contaminants. Some of the benefits of TIG welding are: TIG welding produces high quality, clean welding on any metal. This welding generally uses non-consumable tungsten.

TIG Welding is used to weld steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel alloys, magnesium, gold etc. It also welds bike frames, lawn mowers, fenders and more. It does not create smoke or fumes. Before a person starts welding, it would be better if they clean the base metal properly. Aragon gas is used to for most of the TIG welding projects. TIG welding can be done in all positions-flat, horizontal, vertical or overhead. Because only the necessary amount of filler metal is added to the welding puddle, no spatter or sparks are produced.
