7. BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF TIG WELDING 7.1 TIG Overview and Characteristics TIG is a gas shielded arc welding that uses argon as the protective gas. TIG welding process is as shown in the figure. It uses the argon gas flow ejected from the nozzle of the welding gun to form a tightly closed protector in the arc area to isolate the metal molten pool from the air, so as to prevent air intrusion.
Page 25
7.3 TIG Welding Gun The TIG welding gun is used to clamp the electrode, conduct electricity and transport argon gas flow, which are controlled by the start and stop buttons on the holder. The welding gun comprises three types, the maximum welding current for small type is 100A, and for large type is 400-600A, all adopting water cooling.

Gas protection effect Argon is an ideal protective gas, with a boiling point of -186℃, between the boiling points of oxygen and helium. It is a by-product of fractional distillation of liquid air in an oxygen plant to produce oxygen. In China, bottled argon is used for welding, and its filling pressure is 15MPa at room temperature.

Effective protection zone Melting zone Oxidation zone (a) Good protection effect (b) Bad protection effect Figure 22 Argon protection effect diagram In addition, the argon protection effect can be evaluated by directly observing the color of the weld face. Taking welding on stainless steels as an example, if the weld metal surface is silvery white or golden yellow, it means that the protection effect is good;...
Page 28
These process factors do not change much, but they have different degrees of influence on the welding process and argon protection effect. Therefore, they should be selected according to specific welding requirements.

Figure 24 Posture in welding Arc Igniting Arc igniting is the process for producing stable arc between electrode and weldment in order to heat them to implement welding. Common arc ignition mode includes scraping mode and striking mode. (See Figure 25) During welding, touch the surface of the weldment with the end of the electrode by scraping or light striking to form short circuit, and then quickly lift the electrode 0.08-0.16inch away to ignite arc.
