TIG welding A TYPICAL MANUAL INSTALLATION helmet protective clothing fume extraction TIG rod torch workpiece earth clamp pressure regulator / flowmeter gas cylinder power source torch harness earth cable Nozzle Inert atmosphere Arc METAL TRANSFER MODE Tungsten electrode (non consumable) TIG rod Molten pool TIG Welding Process An electric arc is created between a non consumable tungsten electrode and the piece to be welded. The electrode, the filler metal, the molten pool and the neighbouring zones are protected against atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen by an inert gas shield, generally argon. Usually, this process is called Tungsten Inert Gas or TIG. It is also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding or GTAW. -
Welding selection table TIG stainless steel TIG rod diameter Thickness to weld (mm) Flow of argon ( /min) Welding selection table TIG aluminium TIG rod diameter Thickness to weld (mm) Flow of argon ( /min) LEXICON Pre-gas: Torch and harness are purged before striking. Up slope function: Allows a progressive increase of the welding current. Down slope function: Prevents a crater at the end of the welding cycle and prevents the risk of cracking particularly light alloys. Tungsten electrode diameter (mm) Intensity Tungsten electrode diameter (mm) Intensity Post-gas: Protection of the work piece and the electrode after welding is completed. Example on Fig. Thickness to weld: mm TIG rod diameter: mm Electrode diameter:. mm Welding current: 60 A Flow of argon: 6 l/min Example on Fig. Thickness to weld: 9 mm TIG rod diameter: 5 mm Electrode diameter: mm Welding current: 80 A Flow of argon: 0 l/min Balance: Improves, the penetration during AC welding or the cleaning phase. Pulsed Welding: Makes positional welding and welding of thin plate easier, and prevents the collapse of the molten pool. Allows a regular deposit of filler metal and improves the penetration. EQUIPMENT Tacking: Allows quick tacking of the joint before welding. -
