Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is a welding process where the arc is struck WIA supplies a wide range of mild steel and between a non-consumable tungsten special purpose electrodes which cater for home electrode and the work piece.
Due to variation between generators by different manufacturers, it is impossible for WIA to validate operation from all generators. Therefore, we recommend that operation of equipment on the generator is received from the manufacturer before purchasing the generator.
