Although tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is commonly practiced for pipeline and pipe welding, it can be used among various industries to provide welds made from specialized materials. As fillers are not necessary for TIG welds, the process works by creating a welding arc formed between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the component being welded. Suitable for manual welding, mechanized welding, and welding robot applications, a TIG welder must consist of the following: a power source, grounding cable, welding torch, and a shield gas tank or gas network interface. As TIG welding requires a skilled hand, we will be discussing the proper technique required for TIG welding, and its applications among the aviation industry.
