TIG WELDING
TIG stands for tungsten inert gas, and it is a welding process also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The method employs a non-consumable tungsten electrode that carries the current to the welding arc. The tungsten and the weld puddle are protected and cooled by an inert gas, usually argon.
TIG welding is suitable for use on a variety of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, and nickel alloys. This flexibility allows the technology to be widely utilised across different industries and applications, as these materials are commonly used in the production of various components and structures.
IDS LASER employs a highly skilled competent team of TIG welders experienced in a diverse range of projects.
TIG welding is a popular choice in fabrication shops and is widely used in various industrial projects. This process offers flexibility as it can be used to weld both light and heavy materials, with skilled operators able to control the machine amperage to accommodate different material thicknesses as per project requirements.
At IDS LASER, we serve both internal and external customers throughout the country who require TIG welded products, particularly in the agricultural sector of our business.
Advantages of TIG welding
- Fewer fumes and less smoke.
- Use for welding of a greater range of metal alloys.
- Better welder heat control.
- The welder controls the heat amperage throughout the process.
