TIG Welding uses an arc between a tungsten electrode and the work piece to fuse a joint. TIG welding gives a better weld quality and finish than MIG and is a more intricate and skilled process using hand fed filler wire to build the weld profile.

And finally, if you wanted to try your hand at some Stainless Steel TIG welding.Steve Irwin, our in house demonstrator, offers seven helpful tips and some TIG machine recommendations:

1. Use a quality TIG inverter: One with good strike up that holds it’s arc well.
2. Make sure you use High frequency(HF)for good strike up-No tungsten touching or sticking to material.
3. Ensure a good earth connection: Clean the surface around where the earth clamp is fitted.
4. Use a TIG gas diffuser-gives better gas coverage around the weld pool.
5. Weld with a quality TIG rod: 316L would do nicely.
6. Correct gas coverage: Use a flow meter on your regulator to give an accurate setting(8 -12 litres per minute).
7. Pulsed TIG welding helps: Less heat into the material, so less distortion.
8. Recommended machines: The Miller Maxstar 200DX or Ewm PICOTIG 180.
