If it can be welded it can probably be TIG welded. Exceptions would be metals with a low melting temperature ie: lead, tin, zinc etc.

What does tig stand for?
when refering to tig welding, tig stands for Tunsten Insert Gas
What is unique about the tig welding process?
I wouldn't call TIG unique as it was developed to replace Oxy-Acetylene welding. Basically you use a heat source to melt the base metal and either fuse or add filler to complete the weld. TIG, originally called Heliarc (Helium - electric arc), was developed sometime around WWII to weld Aluminum. Helium was used to protect the molten puddle. Since then Argon has become the primary gas sometimes mixed with Helium. Almost any type of metal can be welded with the TIG process. Except for fuse welding it is a two handed operation whereas MIG and stick welding can be performed single handed. One thing that is unique is that with the addition of a foot pedal you can control the Amperage as you weld. many planes were produced here at Wright with gas welded Aluminum most was done with Hydrogen Oxygen torch taking care to have a reducing flame
What is the advantage of pulse tig welding?
produces extremely straight and even welds
What are the welding parameters that must be consider to produce quality weld?
the metals to be welded should be placed correctly, the dust on the metals should be removed, the distance between the metals and electrode should be maintained, proper current must be produced on the basis of metal thickness.
What type of welding are used in Ship building?
Ships are built in segments or sections usually in a building for protection from the elements, rain, snow, heat etc. Automatic MIG (GMAW) is used as much as possible. Manual MIG and stick (SMAW) are then used in places or positions automatic machines cannot get to. These sections are transported to building ways where they are joined together to form the ships structure. Thick sections are sometimes welded with the submerged arc welding process. MIG welding is then used where ever possible and stick welding is used every where else. Smaller pipe systems and light gauge sheet metal structures are usually TIG (GTAW) welded. Large pipe sections are MIG welded on rollers. Some are stick welded when in place on the ship. Newer processes such as Laser Welding is making inroads in heavy fabrications.
What is called welding?
It is called aluminum welding. Aluminum can be TIG welded, the most common method, or oxy-fuel welded, or stick welded, or MIG welded.

What services does TIG Welding offer?
TIG welding is a method of welding. A tungsten electrode heats up the metal that is to be welded while a gas, such as argon, protects the weld from being contaminated. This method allows for clean, accurate welds. It can also be used on more metals than any other welding process.
What metals can be welded by underwater welding?
steel
What polarity is used for mild steel GTAW?
The only way to tig is to have your ground clamp hooked to the positive side of the welding machine. The negative lead will go to the tig torch. If it is reversed you will find out very quickly when you strike an arc. Most metals will be welded using this Polarity (straight). Most Aluminum TIG welding is performed using A C current.
What metals can be welded with an AC welding machine?
any metal
What is a base metal in welding?
A base metal is also called the Parent metal. It is that metal in the welding practice that has been cut by the various forms of cutting, then prepared and is to be welded. Welding is performed to join one section of the base metal to another section of base metal by means of the various welding processes, e.g. SMAW(Shielded Metal Arc Welding) where welding welding rods are used, GTAW(Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) where Tig wire is used, FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding) etc. The welding rods, the TIG wires etc are called the filler metals, for they fill the weld gaps by depositing their molten-state weld metals.
What is a welding templates?
tig welding
Is it true that the main limitation of flux cored arc welding is that ferrous metals can be welded?
no
What types of welding used for 8 mm thickness metals?
For welding 8 mm thickness metals, common methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding (SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding). The choice depends on the type of metal and specific requirements.
Tig is an input or output device?
