TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) or GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) welding is the process of welding using a tungsten electrode, filler metal rod, and an electric arc to produce a nice, clean weld. TIG welding is commonly used for steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze. It is often used for specialty applications such as bike frames and roll cages because it produces a finer, more precise weld than other processes. It is a bit more difficult to master than MIG (GMAW) welding (which is what most of us start with), but the results are a higher quality, cleaner weld.

This 2-day class will teach you how to use and understand the components of the TIG welding machine, how to set up a joint, explore finishing, and practice welding on a variety of materials. Prior MIG or stick welding experience mandatory.
