TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is a precise welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. It employs an inert gas, usually argon, to shield the weld area from contamination and oxidation. An electric arc forms between the tungsten electrode and the metal workpiece, melting the metal to join parts together. TIG welding allows for high-quality, clean, and accurate welds, making it ideal for thin or precision applications. It requires skill and control, often used in aerospace, automotive, and artistic metalwork.
