Objective: TIG welding finds diverse applications in different industries. In the food sector, it is used for welding stainless steel, while in the aircraft and aerospace industry, it is employed for welding stainless, aluminum, titanium, and magnesium. The technique extends to race car frames, where alloys are welded, and to pressure vessels, where mild steel is commonly utilized. Beyond industrial contexts, TIG welding is a valuable skill for home hobbyists and artists, particularly for crafting sculptures and various creative projects. Materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and, to a lesser extent, copper are commonly utilized by hobbyists and artists in their TIG welding endeavors.
