Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is an arc welding process that produces the weld via a non-consumable tungsten electrode. It is ideal for joining metals like stainless steel, aluminium, nickel & copper alloys, cobalt and titanium. TIG torch WP 17 from Miller Weldcraft is an air-cooled torch designed for maximum comfort. It is made from the highest quality copper alloys and is ideal for welding under 250A. This torch is excellent for portable applications as it does not require a bulky water cooler.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Which materials are used with AC & DC powered TIG torches?
A. AC powered TIG torches are generally used for welding non-ferrous metals like aluminium & magnesium, while DC powered Miller Weldcraft TIG torches are suitable for welding ferrous alloys like steel & stainless steel.
Q. Which is better - TIG or MIG welding?
A. TIG welds are better for thin metals and small projects because they produce precise and clean welds. MIG welds are ideal for large projects with thick metals that need long & continuous running.
