TIG is an abbreviation of Tungsten Inactive Gas. Tungsten is the English designation for wolfram which is the material welding rods are made of, and TIG welding is a process where an inactive gas is conducted through the welding head and down onto the workpiece to be welded. The gas, e.g. argon or helium, covers the molten bath like a "quilt" and thereby prevents access to the molten bath for oxygen or other gases from the atmosphere.
TIG is characterised by being a versatile welding method resulting in welds which are very close to the properties of the original material. In addition, TIG is easy to check visually as regards quality, and it is typically used for welding of stainless steel and aluminium. TIG can be performed manually, by means of welding robot or in an automatic welder, and work can be performed both with or without welding wire.
