6:00pm - 9:30pm
In this 3.5 hour introduction to TIG welding workshop, students will learn the basics of TIG welding.
TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas and is technically called Gas Tungsten Arc Welding or GTAW. TIG welding is similar to oxy-acetylene welding in that you use a filler rod, but it creates a concentrated arc between the torch with tungsten and the welded material, and argon or helium is used as a shielding gas.
TIG welding is often used for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, bronze, and copper, but is can also be used for ferrous metals such as steel and stainless steel. While TIG welding can be more challenging to learn than MIG welding, TIG welding produces a stronger and cleaner weld.
Class is limited to 6 students.
All necessary materials are covered in the cost of the tuition.
