Murex Welding Products’ has released a TIG Welding Guide containing applications of TIG welding and pointers for its successful use. Typical applications for TIG welding include: architectural stainless steel fabrications such as balustrades; vessels and pipework for the offshore, petrochemical and nuclear industries; aluminium alloy, magnesium and titanium fabrications for the aerospace industry; motorcycle and bicycle frames; and stainless steel pipework, vessels and machine frameworks for the food, beverage and dairy industries. More unusual applications include jewellery (even gold can be welded with TIG), dentistry (for chrome cobalt frameworks) and titanium (for specialist high-strength, low-weight applications). For fine work and low-current applications, TIG is being used as a more versatile alternative to micro-plasma welding.
