Tig welding setup diagram. The welding of non ferrous metal and their alloys in manual arc processes use a corrosive flux. In mig welding the voltage is what is controlled and adjusted. Tig welding guide tig welding setup. See your owners manual for complete safety set up and installation procedures.
Gas tungsten arc welding gtaw also known as tungsten inert gas tig welding is an arc welding process that uses a non consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weldthe weld area and electrode is protected from oxidation or other atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas argon or helium and a filler metal is normally used though some welds known as autogenous welds do. Tig and arc welding machines use amperage to set the machine or a constant amperage power supply. When comparing mig welding to arc or tig welding mig welding machines use voltage settings to set the machine. Tig welding uses an arc formed between a non consumable electrode and work metal.
The following diagram and instructions show a typical tig welding system and connections. Tools gear we use and recommend httpswwwamazonc. How do i set up my tig welder. By request how to assemble a tig torch with side by side comparisons of the most common torch sizes.
But in the gas shielded tungsten arc process ferrous and non ferrous alloys are welded without the use of the fluxes.
