The course provides an overview of the fundamental principles of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), or TIG welding, which is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an arc and join metal. It requires shielding gas, mostly pure argon or argon mixed with helium. Participants acquire TIG welding skills applicable to various materials and welding positions.
An additional fee is required.
