"Introduction to GTAW” defines gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), describes the tools used in GTAW, and discusses the various factors that should be considered when using GTAW. GTAW, or TIG welding, is ...

Last month, we presented the basics on setting up a TIG welder as the groundwork for the next few write-ups on actually making things with TIG welding. These TIG welding techniques aren't difficult—it ...

Now that we've finally graduated from our short courses on MIG welding, we can move onto the next overview series: TIG welding. Otherwise known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), this type of arc ...

Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) has become an indispensable welding method for many industries because it produces high quality welds and keeps equipment costs low. In the power generation industry, ...

In the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process, an electric arc is struck between a refractory electrode made of tungsten and the work piece, while a shroud of inert gas, usually argon, shields the ...

We’ve been aware of the shortage of skilled welders due to retirements for some time. In recent years the shortage has been exacerbated by furloughing or the early retirement of workers during the ...

California machine shop quadrupled output by switching from manual TIG to robotic laser welding, eliminating skilled labor ...

Though much of it is hidden from view, welding is a vital part of society. It’s the glue that holds together the framework of the cars we drive, the buildings we occupy, the appliances we use, and the ...
