TIGwelded

TIGwelded refers to something that has been joined using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process, commonly known as TIG welding. TIG welding is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. A filler metal is often used, supplied by hand or automatically, and an inert shielding gas, such as argon or helium, is used to protect the weld puddle from atmospheric contamination.

The TIG welding process is known for its ability to produce high-quality, precise welds that are clean and free from spatter. This makes TIGwelded joints desirable in applications where aesthetics and structural integrity are paramount. It is frequently employed in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and pipe fabrication, as well as for welding thin-walled materials and exotic metals like aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium. The skill level required for TIG welding is generally higher than for other welding processes due to the need for simultaneous control of the welding torch, filler rod, and amperage. When a component is described as TIGwelded, it signifies that this particular welding technique was employed in its construction or repair.
