TIG welding is expanded as Tungsten Inert Gas. It has a tungsten electrode that serves as the one which heats up the metal that is supposed to be weld. The gas saves from contaminants. TIG Welders are highly recommended at industries that require perfect and clean finished welds. TIG welders can weld more metals than other welders. There are very few problems that occur in TIG welders. They are stated here with remedies.
If tungsten burns through very fast then the source of problem may be either one of the following;
- Inadequate gas flow
- Wrong size of tungsten
- During cooling tungsten would have been oxidized
- Gas with CO2
Then follow the bellow stated remedies;
- Be sure that that tank is full of gas.
- Tungsten size is normally 3/32” in diameter. This is apt for a 220 amps current strength.
- Allow the shielding gas to flow 15 seconds as soon as the arc stops.
- Try using Argon gas instead of CO2
