TIG WELDING
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding has become a popular choice of welding processes when high quality, precision welding is required.
In TIG welding an arc is formed between, an essentially non-consumable tungsten electrode and the metal being welded. A sheath of inert gas is fed through the torch to shield the electrode, the arc and molten weld pool. This shield gas prevents any oxidation of the weld. If filler wire is used, it is added to the weld pool separately.
TIG welding can be performed with a large variety of metals but most commonly stainless steel and aluminum.
Using our TIG system we can weld from a thickness of 0.1 mm and to a positional accuracy of 0.1 mm if required although generally it is used for thicknesses of 0.5mm or thicker.
The process is widely used for welding of vacuum vessels, pressure vessels and heat exchangers where gas tightness is important since the process produces welds with very low pore fractions.
TIG-welding is also beneficial for welds with frequently starts and stops and for short welds due to excellent quality with low porosity.
Using this technology, we manufacture high vacuum, ported, stainless steel chambers.
