Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is an arc welding method that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to form the weld. In the TIG welding process, the arc forms between a tungsten electrode and the workpiece in an inert argon or helium atmosphere. Its relatively small, intense arc is ideal for welding thin sheet materials and for high-quality and precise welding. TIG welding requires a drooping, constant-current power source, whether DC or AC, to prevent excessively high currents when the electrode is short-circuited to the workpiece.
