Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW/TIG welding) is a high-precision welding method that plays an important role in industrial manufacturing. This process uses non-consumable tungsten electrodes and inert shielding gas to produce extremely pure welds.
Key features of gas tungsten arc welding include:
High welding quality and almost no spatter
Can weld a variety of metal materials
Precise and controllable heat input
Suitable for thin plate welding
In practical applications, gas tungsten arc welding is commonly used in the following scenarios:
Aerospace component manufacturing
Chemical equipment installation
Precision instrument production
Food-grade pipeline welding
With the development of automation technology, gas tungsten arc welding is increasingly combined with robot systems to further improve welding efficiency and quality stability. For welding engineers, mastering the essence of this technology is the key to improving professional competitiveness.
