TIG, or Tungsten Inert Gas, welding is a little more complicated than MIG welding, and the results are cleaner and more polished. The welder uses a TIG torch in one hand and a Tungsten filler rod in the other to create a weld pool around the joint. This allows the welder to create small, complex welds that MIG welding is not able to achieve. While many metal fabrication shops only offer MIG welding, All Metal Fabrication offers both, giving our customers the option to use one or both, depending on their project’s specific requirements.
TIG welding is a little more versatile than MIG, and it can be used for more complex welds that require a higher level of welding skills—which our team members have. The process is a little slower, but it results in a superior-looking weld particularly for lighter gauged metals. Plus, if you need a technical or visually appealing weld, such as an S curve or a round weld, TIG welding is the way to go.
We most often use TIG welding for thin pieces of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, copper alloys and magnesium. Here are some examples of where we often utilize TIG welding:
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is a manual arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an arc between the electrode and the base metal. A shielding gas is used to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination.
TIG welding is a versatile process that can be used to weld a wide variety of metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is particularly well-suited for welding thin sheet metal and for creating precision welds.
Some machines are designed for specific applications, such as welding thin sheet metal or welding aluminum. Other machines are more general-purpose and can be used for a wider range of applications.
TIG welding is a great choice for customers who need high-quality, precision welds on a variety of materials, including stainless steel and aluminum. It is also a good choice for customers who need welds that are both functional and visually appealing.
