TIG (Tungsten inert gas)
Of all the arc welding processes, TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding is capable of
achieving the highest quality welds and is the most versatile in terms of what can be
welded and the position of the welds. As in most industrial processes, however, quality
comes at the expense of time and TIG is generally slower than MIG welding. The
applications of TIG welding and pointers to its successful use are highlighted in the
new Murex Welding Products' TIG Welding Guide.

TIG welding is an extremely versatile process; it can be used with virtually any
weldable metals, including dissimilar metals, and thicknesses from 0.5mm upwards.
TIG welding machines are typically available in current ratings from 150A to 350A and
they are capable of operating at currents as low as, typically, 3A for a 150A machine.
In addition, TIG machines can be used for brazing and MIG welding, which helps to
improve the return on an investment in TIG equipment.

The most commonly used shielding gas for TIG welding is pure argon for all materials
including aluminium. For thick aluminium and copper, argon/helium would be used for
the added heat from the helium. TIG operatives do need to be aware that the correct
tungsten electrode must be used, otherwise problems can be experienced with striking
the arc and maintaining a stable arc.

TIG can be used either with or without a filler wire and Murex, which has been involved
with TIG welding almost since its commercialisation, offers a vast array of different
filler wires to suit the wide variety of applications for which TIG is used.

One of the advantages of TIG welding is that the weld not only possesses high integrity
but it also has a very aesthetic surface finish. Consequently welds can often be left 'as
is', with no need for grinding. This is beneficial in terms of the time saved, plus it avoids
any problems associated with grinding on site, such as noise, vibration and dust.
Depending on the model of TIG welder used, the operative can have control over many
of the weld parameters so as to optimise the weld quality.
1.1 ADVANTAGES OF TIG WELDING

 Weld quality is good

 Distortion of metal work piece is low
 Spatter free
 Precision welding
 Flexibility of welding with or without filler rods
 Welding up to 6 mm thickness of work piece possible
 Butt, Lap, Corner, Edge and T joints- all used in TIG welding

1.2 OBJECTIVE

 To know main function of welding.

 To know the part of welding gas TIG
 To know what is a true step when doing a welding.
 To know the prevention of accident.
 To improve the knowledge and skills of welding.
 To know the instruction and safety

3.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 To prevent injury to personnel, extreme caution should be exercised when

using any types of welding equipment. Injury can result from fire, explosions,
electric shock, or harmful agents. Both the general and specific safety
precautions listed below must be strictly observed by workers who weld or cut
metals.

 Do not permit unauthorized persons to use welding or cutting equipment.

 Do not weld in a building with wooden floors, unless the floors are protected
from hot metal by means of fire resistant fabric, sand, or other fireproof material.

 Remove all flammable material, such as cotton, oil, gasoline, etc., from the
vicinity of welding.

 Before welding or cutting, warm those in close proximity who are not protected
to wear proper clothing or goggles.

 Remove any assembled parts from the component being welded that may
become warped or otherwise damaged by the welding process.

 Do not leave hot rejected electrode stubs, steel scrap, or tools on the floor or
around the welding equipment. Accidents and/or fires may occur.

 Keep a suitable fire extinguisher nearby at all times. Ensure the fire extinguisher
is in operable condition.

 Mark all hot metal after welding operations are completed. Soapstone is
commonly used for this purpose.
4.0 WORKING PROCEDURES

 Choose the Electrode

 Grind the Electrode

 Insert the Electrode Into Its Collet

 Choose the Settings

 Turn on the Gas

 Prepare Metal and Welding Table

 Clean the surface with wire brush before start the welding. Cleaning the surface
are important to prevent the defects happen.
 Before do working process need to wear safety equipment such as gloves, face
shield and apron.

 Set the suitable current that we need. This based on our speed control during
welding process.
 Do tack weld on both side of plates. This process to make sure the plate not
split out during welding process.
 Do welding process until done. Make sure the speed and the angle of hand
range 70-75 to make sure get the exactly shape of weldment.

 Wire brush the weldment after done the welding process.

5.0 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

In this case, to get the good weld for tig ,we need to Proper current settings, gas and
gas flow are a few things to get right first. Everyone seems to develop their own
preference as to the pattern they use for various welds and most of these patterns
take into place a sound weld first before beauty .Push/pull, side to side, forward/back
and then forward, pattern and of course my favorite circles.

Check out millers resource center for more info and you can also find great
resources at your local library. My advice is to concern ourself with a good sound
weld, then work on your cosmetics. A good looking weld is essential in appearance
work and you don't want an eyesore weld on a custom chopper or the like so after
you have dialed in your settings and performed some good welds, then is a good
time to start making it pretty.

Besides that, to get the good weld In horizontal welding, the weld axis is
approximately horizontal, but the weld type dictates the complete definition. For a
fillet weld, welding is performed on the upper side of an approximately horizontal
surface and against an approximately vertical surface.
6.0 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, tungsten inert gas (TIG), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal
inert gas (TIG) welding is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between
a consumable wire electrode and the workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece
metal(s), causing them to melt and join.

To get the good result we need to do proper welding technique, proper torch angle,
suitable speed when run the welding process and proper voltage usage. All these
steps are important to make sure welding process in good or to get the great result
with zero defect on our project.
