RRJ #1 ( Tungsten Inert Gas Welding )

Summary:

One of the best methods to do the process of welding is Tungsten Inert Gas

(TIG). It is not like the other methods of welding because it doesn’t melt; also it helps to keep the weld material. In addition the weld with TIG is free of dirt and without holes and lamps. To have a complete weld with TIG, some tools are required such as TIG welding machine, shielding gas, and protective gear. To keep the process going in order, it has to be done carefully and in form. The TIG is almost same as the other methods in the order of actions. The process of TIG is dangerous like the other methods of welding; therefore, the workers on it should be careful and follow the rule of safety.

Vocabulary:

Inert – chemistry liquid

Contribute – help by providing supports

Metal – generally hard chemical element

Inspect – to look at something carefully

Prior – before

Perpendicular – standing straight up

Optimal – being the best

Maintain – to keep (machine) in good condition

Tolerance – acceptance

Reaction:

It very good for the all welding shops that they find this kind of method because it helps to weld a lot of metals with less cost and it keeps the welder doing the welding without stopping to take off the metal and put a new one, like the metal inert gas (MIG). So we won’t see this kind of spending money and time with TIG. This article makes me happy, because I have a plan to make my own workshop when I graduate from college; also, it shows me the difference between all kinds of welding methods. I am excited to do a search after i graduate to figure out and explore new methods that help the industries to work easily; also, this methods will make me rich if I do them.
