The TIG welding process stands for high quality welding and is used in demanding applications of pipeline welding, food industry, pressure vessels, aviation and many others.

For a perfect GTAW result several parameters need to be considered for the tungsten electrode, like composition of the tungsten based electrode material, diameter, tip angle and shape or thermal load. The setting of welding parameters can be done according to standard tables or by using sophisticated welding machines supporting with intelligent functions such as Böhler Welding EasyArc.

The scope of application stretches from welding of thin sections of non and medium alloyed and stainless steel grades to high-quality root welding in thicker plates and tubes. GMAW is the process of choice for non-ferrous materials as aluminium, magnesium or copper alloys.
