Frequently Asked Questions
Can we hook wire feeders to the TIG machines?
TIG machines are constant current power sources and do not require an external wire feeder.
What are different TIG torch sizes?
TIG torches have various set sizes, including numbers 9, 17, 18 and 26.
How are air-cooled torches different from water-cooled counterparts?
Air-cooled torches take longer to cool and are not designed for handling super high temperatures like water-cooled torches. Air-cooled torches are meant for thin-walled materials, whereas water-cooled torches can be used for heavy / thick-walled workpieces.
What are the gases used with TIG welding torches?
Shielding gases like helium, argon, carbon dioxide etc., are used with Miller-Weldcraft torches.
What kind of electrodes are used for welding torches?
Tungsten electrodes are used with welding torches.
Can we use other electrodes with welding torches?
Tungsten electrodes withstand very high temperatures with minimum erosion or melting. That is why tungsten electrodes are most suitable for TIG welding.
