Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding
TIG Welding can be a great way of addressing on-site welding issues. Particularly in maintenance welding, it is used to repair tools and dies in components such as aluminum and magnesium.
Some of the main benefits of TIG welding are:
No sparks or spatter
Because only the necessary amount of filler metal is added to the welding puddle, no spatter or sparks are produced (if the metal being welded is clean).
No flux or slag
Because the Argon gas protects the weld puddle from contamination, no flux is required or used in TIG welding and there is no slag to block your view of the weld puddle. Also, the finished weld will not have slag to remove between weld passes.
No smoke or fumes
TIG welding does not create smoke or fumes, unless the base metal being welded contains contaminants or elements such as, oil, grease, paint, lead or zinc. The base metal should be cleaned before welding.
