The Evolution of TIG

TIP TIG provides the lowest possible weld heat input and the benefits are many: • WeldswiththesmallestHAZ• Alwayssuperiorweldproperties• Lessconcernforweldcracks• Weldswiththelowestoxidationanddistortion.
TIP TIG agitated weld pool benefits:• Reducestheconcernswithsluggishalloys improvingweldfusionandprovidingweldswiththe lowestpossibleinternalwelddefects.
The TIP TIG welder has greater control of the weld wire and process:• Theweldwireisalwaysinthearcsweetspot• TheconsistentfedTIPTIGwirereducesTIGarc startstopsandprovidesawelduniformitynot attainedbyanymanualTIGwelder• Weldcontrol-theTIPTIGweldercanuseoneor twohandsonthetorch• TheTIPTIGwelderdoesnotneedafootcontrol.
