4.1 Consumable and gas flow selection

The tables in this chapter provide some basic guidance only and must not be considered as a definitive source of elec-
trode and gas flow rate information.
The welding current setting defines the electrode size and the shielding gas flow rate. The most typical shielding gas
for TIG welding is argon.
The following tables provide some basic guidance for the electrode size and shielding gas flow rate selection.
