TIG welding equipment is used for Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, a precise and clean welding process ideal for joining thin materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. This equipment includes a TIG welder, tungsten electrodes, and a shielding gas supply, ensuring high-quality welds with minimal distortion.
Consider the welder's amperage range, duty cycle, and compatibility with the materials you plan to weld. Check for additional features like pulse capabilities and AC/DC options if you plan to work with a variety of metals.
Use a trusted shipping service that specializes in handling heavy and delicate equipment. Ensure the welder is properly packaged with cushioning materials to prevent damage during transit.
Regular maintenance includes inspecting and replacing tungsten electrodes, checking gas hoses and connections for leaks, and cleaning the torch components. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific maintenance intervals.
