Tungsten inert gas

As in the case of many metal—ahoy systems, weld ductihty is not as good as that of the base metal. Satisfactory welds can be made in vanadium ahoys provided the fusion zone and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) are protected from contamination during welding. Satisfactory welds can be made by a variety of weld methods, including electron-beam and tungsten-inert-gas (TIG) methods. It is also likely that satisfactory welds can be made by advanced methods, eg, laser and plasma techniques (see Lasers Plasma technology).

It can be welded by resistance, tungsten-inert gas (TIG), plasma arc and electron beam techniques. To protect the metal from attack by air, resistance welding is carried out under water and the TIG method is best performed in a chamber of argon. The latter three methods produce ductile welds that equal the base metal in most of its characteristics. 

Alloys with thoria (Th02> are used for TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding electrodes and in electronic applications where its increased electron emission properties and high temperature strength prove advantageous.

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) In this case, an unfusible tungsten electrode is used together with a separated filler stick the protection of the melted material is obtained through an inert gas shield (Fig. 4). Such processes are characterized by either an inert gas (MIG - metal inert gas) or an active one (MAG - metal active gas), on the basis of the type of used gas. With respect to other fusion welding operation, TIG is characterized by a focused heat flux and a limited heat-affected zone (Rodrigues and Martins 2005). 

Metal-to-metal wear tests of these materials were described by McCandles and Maddy [22]. Welding techniques for applying these materials are tungsten inert gas (TIG), transferred arc plasma, and oxyacetylene. 

The base subassembly is welded using a tungsten-inert gas (TIG) process in an oxygen-free atmosphere (a process sometimes referred to as Heliarc welding) to produce a finished base unit. 

Each of the SPX-1 tubes was 92 m long. There were seven welds per tube, so SPX-1 had about 10000 welds in comparison with -4000 in Ph nix. The flow tubes were butt welded by the TIG (tungsten inert-gas) process with welding metal double wall tube inner tube/outer tube...
