TIG Welding
TIG welding is a precision arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and shielding gas to produce controlled welds. It is widely used for stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and other metals where weld appearance, cleanliness, and precise heat input are important.

Manufacturing overview
Tungsten inert gas welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), produces an arc between a tungsten electrode and the workpiece.
Filler material may be added separately when required.
Typical applications include stainless steel piping, precision fabricated assemblies, aluminum components, pressure equipment, and thin-wall structures.
Suitable materials include stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, nickel alloys, and selected carbon steels.
TIG welding offers precise control of the welding process and is commonly used where weld quality and appearance are important.
However, it may be slower than other welding methods for high-deposition applications.
Design considerations include joint preparation, material thickness, welding position, filler selection, shielding gas, and distortion control.
Buyers should provide fabrication drawings, material grades, weld symbols, joint specifications, quantity, and required welding standards.
Quality requirements may include visual inspection, penetrant testing, radiographic testing, and qualified welding procedures where applicable.
