Serving Toronto, Brampton, & GTA
What is TIG Welding?
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is a fusion welding process that uses an electric arc to create a weld between two pieces of metal. It is a versatile welding process that can be used on a variety of metals, including:
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Magnesium
- Titanium
- Nickel alloys
- Copper
- Dissimilar metals
Applications of TIG Welding
TIG welding is used in a variety of industries, including:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Food and beverage
- Medical device
- manufacturing
- Oil and gas
- Chemical processing
- Pipeline construction
- Shipbuilding
Benefits of Minhas TIG Welding Services Mississauga & GTA:
- High-quality welds: TIG welding produces clean, precise welds with minimal spatter and distortion. This is because the inert gas shield protects the weld pool from contamination.
- Versatility: It can be used on a wide variety of metals and thicknesses, making it a good choice for a variety of applications.
- Clean welds: TIG welds are known for their clean appearance, making them ideal for applications where aesthetics are important.
- Precise control: It offfers precise control over the heat input, which is important for welding thin metals or dissimilar metals.
- Less spatter: It produces less spatter than other welding processes, such as MIG welding, which can reduce the need for post-weld cleaning.

Comparison of TIG vs MIG vs Stick
| Feature | MIG | TIG | Stick |
|---|---|---|---|
| Process | Arc welding | Arc welding | Arc welding |
| Shielding gas | Inert gas (argon, helium) | Active gas (CO2, argon mix) | Flux coating on electrode |
| Electrode | Tungsten | Consumable wire electrode | Consumable electrode |
| Applications | Thin metals, stainless steel, aluminum, dissimilar metals | Thicker metals, mild steel | Thicker metals, mild steel |
| Advantages | Clean welds, precise control, minimal spatter | Fast welding speed, good for outdoor applications | Simple to learn, portable |
| Disadvantage | Slower welding speed than MIG welding, requires more skill | More spatter than TIG welding, not suitable for thin metals | Not as precise as TIG welding, difficult to weld overhead |
Suitable for welding a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium, and various alloys.
Offers precise control over the welding arc, resulting in high-quality welds with excellent appearance and minimal spatter. It is also suitable for welding thin materials and provides good joint strength.
In TIG, the 6G welding positions refers to welding in the overhead position, where the pipe is at a 45-degree angle and rotates while the welder maintains a fixed position.
Gas tungsten arc welding requires a high level of skill and experience to achieve optimal results. It is generally slower than other welding processes, and it may not be suitable for welding thick materials or in windy or dirty environments.
