What is GTAW?

GTAW stands for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, also known as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. It is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is shielded from atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas such as argon or helium. GTAW is commonly used for welding thin sections of stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys, and is known for producing high-quality, precise welds.
