TIG welding machines

The Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process is a manual welding method where the arc created using a tungsten electrode melts and deposits metals to form various welds. The TIG welding machine allows full control over the welded area. It is desirable for many types of industrial and construction applications where the appearance of the final product is as important as its strength.

TIG welding machines are used in the industry for precise welding. A tungsten electrode is used to initiate an arc that enables the welding of all materials. You can use a TIG welding machine to weld mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Welding aluminum requires an AC welding output, which is only found on an AC/DC TIG welding machine. This type of machine is generally more expensive than a DC-only TIG welding machine. However, if you plan to weld aluminum at any time, it is always best to plan ahead and buy an AC/DC TIG machine.

HD Soudage offers you its top three brands of TIG welding machines, which have become trusted partners, as they have been tested by us for several years. Regarding our range of TIG welding machines, we offer the E.W.M. brand, with a 3-year warranty, and the EASYWELD brand. All these brands are known for their robustness and efficiency in the task. The reputation of our welding machines is well established, notably through the PicoTig and Tetrix at E.W.M. In a more economical range, find EASYWELD with the ProTig and EasyTig for more occasional use.

TIG Welding Machine

TIG welding is widely used in various fields; the precision and stability of the arc guarantee a very high aesthetic yield. Moreover, TIG welding does not generate spatter. Unlike other welding processes such as MMA or continuous wire welding, it does not require additional finishing operations.

Professionals who aim for precision and quality in their welding work consider TIG welding machines as indispensable tools. The features of the EWM brand models, such as the Tetrix or Pico range, include advanced technology and high durability, with options such as automatic arc control and integrated cooling systems. These properties ensure high-quality welding on materials such as aluminum and stainless steel, guaranteeing high stability and precise heat control. The TIG welding machines of the Wuithum brand are a cost-effective option for occasional use. Simple to use and offering a good price-performance ratio, these tools are perfectly suited for DIY enthusiasts or small businesses requiring occasional welds without sacrificing reliability or durability. The choice of a TIG welding machine depends on the intended use and budget, whether for intensive professional or occasional use, there are options suitable for every situation.

Differences in TIG Machines

In the welding world, there are several models and brands of TIG welding machines, some of which are intended for professional use with the ability to adjust each welding parameter to tailor the process to the welder's goal. Some models are equipped with special functions such as spot welding or electrode preheating, while others are intended for less intensive use with a simplified control panel. It is common to divide TIG welding machines into two main families:

DC TIG Welding Machine:

DC stands for direct current; direct current is suitable for working on mild steel, stainless steel, brass, cast iron, and other ferrous alloys. This type of welding machine is generally priced lower than AC/DC welding machines with the same duty cycle and functions; however, if you need a professional welding machine with a high duty cycle for intensive work, the price can increase significantly.

AC/DC TIG Welding Machine:

The acronym AC/DC indicates that the welding generator can generate a welding arc with AC (alternating current), in addition to the classic DC arc. Alternating current is essential for working with aluminum and aluminum alloys using the TIG process. AC/DC TIG welding machines usually have a higher cost because they allow working on almost all existing metals. Generally, the control panel of these generators allows you to modify a large number of welding parameters, as aluminum requires special care and advanced functions.

Pulsed TIG

One of the most useful and in-demand functions in the industrial field is the pulsed TIG welding function; this particular function is frequently present in TIG welding machines intended for professional use. Pulsed TIG welding machines are particularly suitable for welding thin materials, as alternating two different current values reduces heat input on the part and facilitates welding.

How to Choose a TIG Welding Machine:

- Decide on the maximum thickness of the material you want to weld.
- Determine a maximum budget to spend.
- Contact our sales team and provide them with this information.
- We will then be able to recommend the most suitable machine for you!

EWM TERTIX XQ:

The new TIG Tetrix XQ machine allows EWM to offer a unique welding experience. With a current intensity of up to 230 A, this TIG welding machine offers enormous power while being directly connected to a 230 V single-phase power outlet. Depending on the welding task, the user can choose from multiple TIG functions. It benefits from ideal welding properties, with a much more stable arc and optimal weld seams. It allows perfect welding of different materials, from low-alloy or high-alloy steels to non-ferrous metals, titanium, aluminum, and its alloys. The spectrum of applications covers the nuclear, food, and aerospace industries, the chemical industry, as well as mechanical engineering, equipment construction, and metallurgy.
