A tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding machine is used to create fixed rigid metal joints. The process involves temporarily melting two pieces of metal that are in close proximity together and fusing them upon cooling. Industry professionals use different welding techniques depending on the desired production specifications and materials involved in the project. However, TIG welding is known to produce the strongest and most precise welds compared to all other welding types.
TIG welding differs from metal inert gas (MIG) and stick welding as it does not require consumable filler materials such as wire and rod to be performed. Instead, TIG welding machines use a non-consumable welding electrode with an extremely high melting point, far greater than the workpiece, to generate sufficient heat resulting in molten metal. This technique of welding has the versatility to weld thicker workpieces and a greater range of metal types (including aluminium) that other types of welding are not.
TIG welding machines are made of strong, impact proof material making them suitable for most work environments. Features include a foot pedal or thumb wheel to control the amount of heat produced by the welding torch, a thermostat controlled fan to regulate machine temperature and a removable steel mesh dust filter.
