On a basic machine connect the torch to the ground (-) and the ground cable to the positive (+). TIG uses DCSP (straight polarity). Turn on the gas (argon) and set at 15. Trial and error for the amperage setting. That's it. More elaborate machines have a polarity switch. Set this to straight polarity. If it has a high frequency switch set this to START. If it has a foot control it may have a remote setting. Use that. Also set the amperage knob to MAX. Crank open the argon cylinder and set the flow meter for 15 unless you are working in a breeze then set at 25 or so.

In which industry does TIG welder typically finds employment?
TIG welding, i.e. tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is primarily used in the aerospace industry. Thus TIG welder would typically find employment there.
Is it expensive to purchase tig welding jobs?
It does not cost anything to get a job in tig welding. There are many companies that are hiring an experienced tig welder. You can find many of them online.
What can be used to repair an aluminum line other than welding?
the best way to get a good looking/ strong weld on aluminum is using a tig welder it is also possibles with a mig welder but for best results recommend a tig welder with HF
What welder to use on autobody?
It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.
What is the difference between Tig weld vs plasma weld?
When we are using the tig welder we getting welding defects on our blanks, but when using the plasma weld no defects are found
Can you use a mig welder to tig weld?
No Unless you have a newer model welder that is CC & CV, and then they do not do aluminum unless you get into the high end inverter models. Wire welding uses the CV (constant Voltage) and tig is CC (constant current)
Is TIG Welder is also considered as Co2 welder?
No , although Co2 may be used , along with other gasses , a welder using this process is not considered a Co2 welder . TIG stands for tungsten Inert Gas , so the welder is considered / called a TIG Welder.
What welder can be used to weld a least five sixteen inch thick steel?
Tig, mig , or If you are as good as me stick welding will all work
What is a welding templates?
tig welding
Welder plugged into household current caused damage to household electronics?
Are you asking? Shouldn't as it should be connected to its own breaker. Unless you are TIG welding with a high frequency current. The computer class at our Voc School had to change rooms as we were TIG welding next door. Did a number on their computers.
Tig is an input or output device?
Do you mean Tig welding?
What is the name of non consumable electrode?
There are no , non -consumable electrodes, there are slower consumed electrodes, as in TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding in which a Tungsten electrode is used , and in the hands of a very skilled welder , last the longest of all electrodes , but are in the end consumed.
