Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is one of the most important joining techniques used in fabrication processes for high-alloyed steels and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, nickel, titanium and their alloys as well as refractory metals like tantalum, niobium and molybdenum.
With low-alloy steels TIG welding is used mainly for thin sheets and for root welds.

TIG welding is one of the highest quality welding techniques and it requires constant arc stability. This is strongly dependent on the electrodes employed and can only be achieved when these are of consistent quality.

Orbital TIG Welding

Up to 80% of TIG welding processes are carried out manually. However in recent years has been an increasing trend towards automated processes. SCHWARZKOPF orbital TIG welding electrodes are especially suitable to applications in the construction of industrial plants, power stations and reactors.
