Elder Sheet Metal Ltd - TIG Welding LONDON UK

We TIG Weld Stainless Steel Fabrications

WHAT IS TIG WELDING ?

TIG Welding is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by Argon (shielding gas) A filler metal is used to create the weld.

A constant-current welding power supply produces electrical energy, which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors known as a plasma.

TIG Welding is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys. The process grants the operator greater control over the weld than competing processes such as GAS Welding, allowing for stronger, higher quality welds. However, TIG Welding is comparatively more complex and difficult to master, and furthermore, it is significantly slower than most other welding techniques. A related process, plasma arc welding, uses a slightly different welding torch to create a more focused welding arc and as a result is often automated

Elder Sheet Metal Ltd employ skilled TIG Welding Staff many of which are qualified to National CODING standards. We have several controlled TIG Welding bays ensuring cleanliness from atmospheric contamination throughout the welding process.

Elder Sheet Metal Ltd can undertake TIG Welding projects of any batch number, gauge or material. Food Grade, Pharmaceutical, Agricultural and ornamental fabrications are a specialty.
