TIG Welding - Precision Welding for Stainless Steel and Aluminum
TIG Welding - The Highest Quality Welding
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, also known as argon welding, is the most precise type of welding. It uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with argon shielding gas, and filler wire is added manually.
TIG Welding Applications
- Food and Pharmaceutical Industries: Sanitary stainless steel pipe and tank welding.
- Automotive Industry: Aluminum and chrome part welding.
- Aerospace Industries: Titanium and special alloy welding.
- Metal Décor and Furniture: Clean welds without additional finishing.
Essential TIG Welding Equipment
- TIG welding machine (AC/DC for aluminum, DC for steel and stainless).
- TIG torch with tungsten electrodes in various sizes.
- High-purity argon gas regulator (99.99%).
- Filler rods matching the metal being welded.
- Foot pedal for amperage control (optional but preferred).
Tips for Professional TIG Welding
Metal cleanliness is essential - any contaminants or oils will ruin the weld. Use a stainless brush to clean the weld area. Maintain consistent distance between electrode and metal (2-3mm). Practice on test pieces before working on the final piece.
TIG welding machines and equipment are available at ESCO Engineering Warehouses from global brands.
