TIG Welding is one of the most popular welding method which uses a tungsten electrode along with an inert gas and a ceramic cup to weld metals together. Reactive materials like Magnesium and Aluminium can be welded together by TIG welding services. Welding services use a shielding gas which creates a clean weld and prevents oxidizing from occurring. TIG welding services are used both for high quality as well as for manual welding. The inert gas usually used for TIG welding services can be either argon, helium or their combination which can ensure a higher welding speed and better welding penetration.
Argon is preferred over other inert gases, because it provides better coverage during welding. TIG welding process can be used for a wide variety of materials, although the most popular materials are steel and aluminium. For welding heavy metals and in order to reinforce joints, a filler rod is used as a base metal during the welding process, which is usually made from the same materials. There are myriad types of joints designed for use with this type of welding services. The most popular are the lap joints, butt joints, corner and T-joints.
There are certain welding services which leaves behind a slag making the finished product look sloppy. The good thing about TIG welding services is that it leaves no slag and is a very clean method of welding, where the welder can focus on welding without worrying about the cleaning. One of the most popular advantage usually in favour of TIG welding services is the control it provides to the welder with respect to the precision and ease of use. The amperage and heat controls are easily managed using a foot mechanism. The superior control guarantees high quality welding job which is extremely necessary for intricate curves or designs.
