Learn the fundamentals of TIG welding, from equipment and setup to technique and control. A practical introduction for anyone ...

In the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process, an electric arc is struck between a refractory electrode made of tungsten and the work piece, while a shroud of inert gas, usually argon, shields the ...

Welding alloys, also known as filler alloys, are consumables used during a welding process to fill in the gap between two edges being joined. The filler alloy melts into the weld pool along with a ...

Plasma welding machines melt areas with an arc and then use a high-velocity, high-temperature ionized gas to make welds. The process of plasma welding is used to bring better control to the arc ...

Last month we looked at the MIG process, which is definitely the most popular type of welding used for classic trucks. This month we'll explore TIG welding, which many people consider the premiere ...

Please bear with us this month. We're not going to build anything, but we will set the groundwork for things we will build in the next several installments. This ...
