TIG welding

Why is every component welded with TIG? The process is significantly more expensive, more complex and slower to weld than all other processes?

The TIG welding process is one of the premier disciplines among welders; any metal can be welded using this process. The possibilities are endless and a science in itself.

A particular advantage of TIG welding is that it does not work with a consumable electrode. The addition of welding filler metal and the current strength are therefore decoupled. The welder can optimally adjust his welding current to the welding task and only has to add as much welding filler as is required.

When TIG welding, you can work with or without filler metal. For manual welding, rod-shaped additives are usually used, as is the case with gas fusion welding. However, confusion with the welding rods must be avoided at all costs, as their chemical compositions differ.

Due to the relatively low and small-scale heat input, the welding distortion of the workpieces is less than with other processes. Because of the high quality of the weld seams, the TIG process is preferred where quality is more important than welding speeds.
