Page 9: Section 3: Gtaw (Tig)
ALUMTIG 200 GTAW (TIG) 3.0 GTAW (TIG) Welding Process The heat needed for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding is produced by an electric arc maintained between a non‑ consumable tungsten electrode and the workpiece to be welded. The heat‑affected zone (HAZ) molten metal and the tungsten electrode are all shielded from the atmosphere by a blanket of inert gas typically argon ran through the TIG torch. -
Page 10: Concentrated Arc
ALUMTIG 200 GTAW (TIG) 3.3 Concentrated Arc The precise nature of the TIG welding arc allows a high level of control of heat input to the metal resulting in a narrow HAZ (heat‑affected zone). This high concentration of heat is a significant advantage when welding metals with very high heat conductivity such as aluminium and copper. -

Page 14: Section 6: Operation & Functions
ALUMTIG 200 OPERATION & FUNCTIONS 6.0 Digital Control & Functions AC/DC TIG FUNCTION PARAMETERS PURPOSE 1. Pre‑Flow 1‑10 Seconds This parameter operates in 2T and 4T HF TIG mode only and is used to provide gas to the weld zone prior to striking the arc, (N/A AUTO MODES) once the torch trigger switch has been pressed. - Page 15 ALUMTIG 200 FUNCTION PARAMETERS PURPOSE 8. Post‑Flow 1‑10 Seconds Controls the amount of time in seconds that the argon flows after the arc has terminated. Provides proper shielding (N/A AUTO MODES) during cooling to prevent rapid oxidation of the weld which results in porosity the weld pool.
- Page 16 ALUMTIG 200 FUNCTION PARAMETERS PURPOSE 13. 2T/4T Selection To operate with the torch switch, select 2T or 4T (2T Double ended arrow 4T separate arrows). For 2T operation, simply press and hold the switch. The panel program will cycle automatically. When the switch is released, the arc will downslope and terminate with post gas flow.
- Page 17 ALUMTIG 200 FUNCTION PURPOSE 17. AC Balance 50‑98% Defines the percent of Electrode Positive (EP) used during AC welding to provide cleaning action. This divides the time that the AC cycle spends in Electrode Positive or Electrode Negative during one full AC cycle. It controls the amount of cleaning and penetration via a ratio to achieve the best balance while welding on AC.
