What is TIG welding?
Argon arc welding is a welding technique that uses argon as a shielding gas. Also known as argon gas shielded welding. It is to pass argon shielding gas around the arc welding to isolate the air from the welding area and prevent the oxidation of the welding area.
The argon arc welding technology is based on the principle of ordinary arc welding. It uses argon gas to protect the metal welding material. Through high current, the welding material is melted into a liquid on the welded substrate to form a molten pool, so that the welded metal and welding A welding technology in which the welding material achieves metallurgical bonding. Because the argon gas is continuously supplied during high-temperature fusion welding, the welding material cannot be in contact with oxygen in the air, thereby preventing the oxidation of the welding material, so it can weld stainless steel and iron hardware.
When you can choose the Economic slow speed TIG steel pipe welding machine/ TIG pipe welding machine?
- When you want to produce pipes but the production rate is not very high.
- When you want to do the investment, but the budget is limited.
- When you want to produce the pipes both of stainless steel and carbon steel.
- When your factory does not have the very professional engineer to run the HF production line.
- When you do not have enough big space of workshop to run HG pipe line.
- When you want to produce Fence post like 60x40x2.0mm.
- When you want to produce highway guardrail post and others.
In the following part, we will show more details of this production line.
What is the difference of TIG welding and HF welding from the pipe appearance:
Compared with the HF welding machine, the welding seam made by TIG welding, it is a little wide and dark, not so beautiful like the TIG welding machine.
