Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Basics

Picture
What is Gas Tungsten Arc Welding?
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) or more commonly known as TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) is a welding process that uses an non-consumable electrode made of tungsten, whether it be pure or have some addative, to produce an arc.  Some Inert gas is used as a shielding for the arc that most of the time is either pure Argon or Pure Helium.   The Filler Material that is used is fed by the opperator.
