Werner Systems has a wide range of production welding capabilities at our customers’ disposal, and a team of trained welding professionals to handle a wide variety of project needs. In this article, we’re taking a deeper dive in our TIG welding services, a type of welding that is especially crucial for precision welds of delicate or thin materials.
How TIG Welding Works
Tungsten inert gas welding, or TIG welding, is similar to the more common MIG welding, as both use a shielding inert gas to protect the weld area from contamination and protect the metal from rust and corrosion. However, unlike in MIG welding, TIG welders use a non-consumable tungsten electrode within the torch that produces a high-temperature arc to melt metal and create the weld pool.
TIG is popular due to its ability to accommodate a wide range of nonferrous metals, like copper, aluminum, and steel, but it requires significant experience to perform. Unlike other welding methods, TIG has a steep learning curve and requires a large amount of training to even begin to master, which is why not every. At Werner Systems, we have a highly experienced, cross-trained welding team to tackle any TIG welding challenges!
The Benefits of TIG Welding in Fabrication
TIG welding services offer some of the highest quality welds that are possible with modern-day technology. The design of the welding torch offers far more control over the different aspects of the welding process like heat input, speed, and filler metal deposition, which results in more robust, long-lasting joints. This additional control makes it much easier to safely weld thin materials and intricate joints, without potentially damaging the metal in the process. It also makes the welds much cleaner–the inert gas protects the weld pool, and TIG welding generally produces minimal splatter, maintaining the precision of the components and creating a stronger, more aesthetically pleasing joint. Plus TIG welding is highly versatile–it’s used for a wide range of critical and structural applications in Aerospace, Automotive, Industrial Equipment, and more.
