TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas)

TIG welding, or Tungsten Inert Gas welding, is a precise arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. An inert gas, typically argon, shields the weld area from contamination by the atmosphere. The welder manually adds filler metal if needed, allowing for strong, clean, and high-quality joints, especially on thin or delicate materials like stainless steel or aluminum. The process offers excellent control over heat and weld appearance, making it ideal for intricate or critical applications such as aerospace, automotive, or artistic work.
