What Does TIG Stand For?
TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas Welding
TIG, or Tungsten Inert Gas Welding, is a popular welding process that utilizes a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. This method employs an inert gas, typically argon, to shield the weld area from atmospheric contamination, ensuring high-quality, clean welds. TIG welding is ideal for various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, and magnesium, and is recognized for its precision and ability to create aesthetically pleasing welds. It is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing due to its versatility and control over weld variables.
