TIG welding, also know as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), has long enjoyed a reputation as a highly skilled, precise welding process. It is frequently used for highly cosmetic applications or those involving thinner metals that require strict heat control. This process is becoming more popular as technology improves and more welding applications, such as exotic metals, require TIG welding. Selecting the right TIG welding machine for your application is easy if you follow the right criteria. The challenge becomes how to select the right TIG welding machine for the best performance on the application.
