Tungsten inert gas welding, or TIG welding, is additionally referred to as GTAW, or simply gas tungsten arc welding. It shares similarities to gas welding, instead utilizing a tungsten electrode to produce the actual arc as well as heat for your weld.

The advantages to utilizing TIG welding: it can easily be employed to weld many types of metals as well as alloys with clean welds. You can avoid spatter or 'messy' welds, thus reducing the need for grinding. TIG welding, when done properly, produces a robust and clean weld.
