2. Arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_welding

   Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), or tungsten/inert-gas (TIG) welding, is a manual welding process that uses a non-consumable electrode made of tungsten, an inert or semi-inert gas mixture, and a separate filler material. Especially useful for welding thin materials, this method is characterized by a stable arc and high quality welds, but it ...

3. Gas tungsten arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_tungsten_arc_welding

   However, TIG welding is comparatively more complex and difficult to master, and furthermore, it is significantly slower than most other welding techniques. TAG welding (short for "tungsten argon gas welding") [citation needed] was the name given in the early 1970s to the then-novel and revolutionary method of rod welding previously problematic ...

   This is a list of welding processes, separated into their respective categories. The associated N reference numbers (second column) are specified in ISO 4063 (in the European Union published as EN ISO 4063 ). [ 1 ]

6. Shielding gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielding_gas

   [3] [4] In laser welding, the shielding gas has an additional role, preventing formation of a cloud of plasma above the weld, absorbing significant fraction of the laser energy. This is important for CO 2 lasers; Nd:YAG lasers show lower tendency to form such plasma. Helium plays this role best due to its high ionization potential; the gas can ...

7. Plasma arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_arc_welding

   Plasma arc welding is an advanced form of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. In the case of TIG, it is an open arc shielded by argon or helium, whereas plasma uses a special torch where the nozzle is used to constrict the arc while the shielding gas is separately supplied by the torch. The arc is constricted with the help of a water-cooled small ...
