TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas)

TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) is a manual arc welding process that utilizes a non-consumable tungsten electrode to generate the arc. A shielding gas—typically argon or a mix with helium—is used to prevent contamination of the weld pool.

This method is well-suited for joining thin materials and creating precise welds on metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and other nonferrous metals. Tungsten Inert Gas Welding allows complete control over the arc, heat input, and weld puddle, making it an excellent choice for high-quality and visually clean results.

Tungsten Inert Gas Welding is more complex than MIG Welding(Metal Inert Gas) but delivers superior, polished results.

A welder uses a Tungsten Inert Gas torch in one hand and a tungsten filler rod in the other to form a weld pool at the joint. This technique allows for precise, clean welds that MIG Welding typically cannot achieve. While many metal fabrication shops only offer MIG welding, Professional Welding Services(PWS) offers both, providing flexibility based on the project’s specific requirements.

Where is Tungsten Inert Gas Welding being used?

Tungsten Inert Gas Welding is ideal for more intricate welds that demand higher skill and attention to detail. Though it is slow, it produces higher weld quality—especially on thin materials and lighter-gauge metals. If your project calls for a technical or aesthetically refined weld, such as an S-curve or rounded joint, the Tungsten Inert Gas process is often the best solution.

We regularly apply Tungsten Inert Gas Welding to stainless steel and nonferrous metals like aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys.

Common applications include:

Benefits of Tungsten Inert Gas Welding

Precision: Control over the heat and weld pool ensures accurate and clean welds, even on thin or delicate base

Weld Quality: Tungsten Inert Gas Welding produces strong, durable, and aesthetically appealing welds with minimal spatter.

Versatility: It works effectively across various metals and thicknesses—from stainless steel to nickel alloys and pure metals.
