Award in Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding – (GTAW) – Level 2

Course description

TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding is a common method used in manufacturing to join pieces of metal together. It’s a form of GTAW (gas tungsten arc welding) and is used for many things, including assembling exhausts, fue l lines, tanks, and structural and engine parts in aerospace and car manufacturing. It’s a go-to for many because it can make strong and rel iable highquality
welds that are aesthetically pleasing. The process produces very minimal splatter, so there’s a lot less post-weld clean up needed.

The course wi ll explain exactly how t his welding method works, how it’s different from other popular welding types, like MIG (metal inert gas) and laser welding, and also, how you can do it!
