Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) more commonly referred to as Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG).

This process uses a tungsten electrode in order to join the two metals. It uses an inert gas, usually Argon, to shield from contamination and produce a very clean and process joint.

It requires more skill on the part of the welder as it requires the rod to be manually filled into the joint, but it grants more control over the weld than MIG or standard ARC welding. However, it is slower and requires a degree of expertise to master.
