The TIG method utilizes a non-consumable tungsten electrode (141) with a very high melting point, reaching 3400°C, between which a stable, conical electric arc is formed and the workpiece being welded. The filler material can be fed manually or mechanically and is drawn into the weld pool by surface tension forces. When properly performed, this allows for very high-quality, virtually spatter-free welds. Thanks to its precision, the TIG method is suitable for welding a wide range of materials – from unalloyed steels to non-ferrous metals and alloys – wherever the highest functional and aesthetic properties of the joints are required.

Precision and quality of connections
TIG welding in applications requiring the highest standards
A modern approach to automation
Robotization and development of TIG process efficiency
Although the TIG method was long considered unsuitable for robotics, technological advancements have significantly changed this approach. Modern solutions enable precise process control while simultaneously increasing its efficiency and automation capabilities.
Precise filler metal feeding – availability of packages enabling simultaneous arc control and controlled filler metal introduction into the weld pool.
Increased welding efficiency – the ability to use higher welding speeds and higher welding currents while maintaining joint quality.
Real susceptibility to automation – the development of devices means that the TIG method can be effectively implemented in automatic and robotic applications.
