TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) for stainless steel
The process or TIG welding is the procedure that is used for welding stainless steel by Stainless Steel Pipe manufacturer. In this process, the electric arc is going to be established between the base metal and a non-consumable Tungsten electrode, under a protective atmosphere. The atmosphere has been generated by the inert gas, which is usually argon. Argon is used to protect the molten metal from welding from the surrounding air. Also, if necessary, we can add filler metal in the form of a rod or wire inserted into the arc. You can add it automatically or manually to melt it. The drops are spilt into the fusion bath. This TIG welding process forms high-quality beads, without the presence of slag when using non-consumable electrodes without coating or projections. This makes it used for highly responsible stainless steel welds, where it is essential to achieve exquisite quality welding. In addition to highly responsible welds, it is also widely used in thin pieces, approximately up to 6 mm. Since in welds of pieces that have more than these 6 or 7 mm it will not be economical. If you have parts greater than this thickness, use submerged arc welding better.
