Guide to TIG Welding Basics - MillerWelds
2022年10月11日 · In TIG welding, a tungsten electrode in a hand-held torch heats the metal being welded and a shielding gas (commonly argon) protects the weld puddle from airborne contaminants. The tungsten is a non-consumable and the filler metal is added via a filler rod in the operator’s other hand.
All About Tungsten in TIG Welding: Types, Selection and Use
2022年10月5日 · TIG welding was developed to efficiently join aluminum and magnesium alloys, and pure tungsten made sense at the time, since it has the highest melting temperature of all metals. In those days power sources were transformer based, and pure tungsten could accommodate welding in the AC mode, which is the standard for aluminum and magnesium.
How a TIG Welder Works and When to TIG Weld | MillerWelds
2021年9月1日 · The TIG welder in action. The rod is being fed with one hand while the other guides the torch. A comfortable position here means a lot to weld quality. This is the type of weld joint you should avoid. All these tubes converged at one point and were tack welded into place. It is virtually impossible to reach the inside edges of the tubes.
Welding Tips: The Secret to Success When TIG Welding - Miller
2018年9月10日 · With the TIG process, the heat comes from an electric arc that streams between the electrode in a hand-held torch and the metal being welded. The arc and molten metal are shielded by an inert gas, which protects the electrode and base metal from oxidizing. Filler rod is usually added to the puddle of molten metal as the weld progresses.
TIG Brazing With Silicon Bronze - MillerWelds
2019年4月5日 · The silicon bronze rod’s lower melting point makes it ideal for joining together thin sheet metal, galvanized steel, and nuts and bolts, too. It’s nice for sheet metal work because the lower melting temps means less heat, which equals less warping when compared to TIG with, say, an ER70 rod.
Ron Covell's Expert Advice When TIG Welding Aluminum
2020年4月8日 · Most of the work I’ve done with plate and extrusions has been with 6XXX series aluminum — and 5356 filler rod is the best match for these alloys. 5XXX series aluminum is available in a wide range of thicknesses, from thin sheet to heavy plate, and either 5356 or 4043 filler rod can be used for these alloys.
How to Solve 10 Common TIG Welding Problems [Guide] - Miller
2020年4月3日 · Common TIG welding problems. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), or TIG, is often specified to meet strict aesthetic, structural or code/standard requirements. The TIG process is complex, and it is undisputedly the most difficult process to learn. Follow these basic tips to prevent common TIG welding problems. 1. Poor gas coverage
TIG Weld Setting Calculator | MillerWelds
AC TIG is generally used to weld aluminum and magnesium materials. For the best appearance, highest quality and leak free welds on aluminum, AC TIG welding is the process of choice. The primary gas used is argon and in some applications on thick aluminum when additional penetration is needed an argon/helium mixture or pure helium is used.
