TIG Welding St. Louis
At Pinnacle Metal Works & Contracting, we are all about welding. With more than 10 years of experience, we specialize in TIG welding services.
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) is a manual electric welding process that creates fusion energy between the metal and the wire-feeding material through a non-consumable tungsten electrode. TIG Welding has become a popular option for welding processes, as it is a highly sophisticated, versatile, and precise arc welding method. When a job requires high-quality, precision welding, no other welding process offers many unique alloy and filler metal options.
We have experience welding for various metal projects, including pipes, gates, handrails, fences, staircases, and other commercial and residential projects. We provide onsite welding services to save you time and money. We take great pride in our work and are eager to work on your next welding project.
The TIG Welding Process
TIG, an acronym for tungsten inert gas, is a manual electric welding process that utilizes a burning arc to create fusion energy between the metal and the wire feeding or filler material with a non-consumable tungsten electrode.
The TIG welding process is comparatively slower than other welding methods. However, it produces the highest quality and most versatile bonds. TIG welding requires a welder to have a particular skill set, demanding immense focus, coordination, and precision.
A TIG welding machine depends on current from a steady power source to produce a welding arc, though the quality of the arc can be affected by the operator or machine components being used. For instance, tungsten is available in various compositions depending on the desired results.
