What is TIG Welding?

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is a precise and versatile welding process used in industries requiring high-quality welds. This method utilizes a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an arc that melts the base metal while a shielding gas, typically argon, protects the weld from contamination. Unlike other welding processes, TIG welding allows for greater control, producing clean, strong welds on materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and sheet metal.
