Semi-Automatic G.T.A.W.

Semi-Automatic Gas Tungsten Arc Welding is a welding process that utilizes a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an electric arc for joining metals. This welding technique is also commonly known as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding.

In TIG welding, the tungsten electrode is held in a welding torch and an inert gas (usually argon) is used as a shielding gas to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. The gas also helps to stabilize the electric arc.

The TIG welding process is known for its versatility and ability to weld various metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and many others. It is often used in applications where precision and high-quality welds are required, such as in aerospace, automotive, and fabrication industries. The semi-automatic nature of this welding process allows for greater control and accuracy, making it suitable for both manual and mechanized welding operations.

T&W Valve and Machine Co., has successfully performed field welds on carbon and low-alloy steel, stainless steel, all-chrome alloys, titanium and satellite hardfacing.
