TIG Welding Safety Training
Safety and Technique
The TIG Welding Process produces extremely high temperatures which permits pinpoint control of heat over a small heat affected zone. TIG welding is widely used when fine, high quality welding is required, particularly when welding metals such as aluminium and stainless steel.
