® discount TIG welders. The Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process uses a tungsten electrode, along with shielding gas to create a weld. The shilding gas protects the weld from oxygen and moisture contamination. Argon, helium or helium mixed gases are the most common shielding gases for TIG welding. Filler metal may or may not be used in the TIG welding process, depending on your application.
Tungsten Inert Gas welding machines are most often used on thin base material or when precision and weld appearance are ctritical. TIG welding equipment produces very little smoke and no spatter.
Frequently Asked Questions about TIG Welders
What is TIG welding?
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and shielding gas to produce precise, high-quality welds. It’s ideal for thin materials and applications requiring clean finishes.
What shielding gases are used in TIG welding?
Argon is the most common shielding gas, though helium or argon-helium mixes may be used for deeper penetration or specific materials.
Can TIG welders weld aluminum?
Yes. AC TIG welders are designed for aluminum welding. Many models at Cyberweld include AC/DC functionality for versatility across materials.
Do Cyberweld TIG welders come with accessories?
Most TIG welders include a torch, ground clamp, and regulator. Select packages offer free helmets, tungsten grinders, or consumable kits as promotional bonuses.
What brands of TIG welders are available?
Cyberweld carries TIG welders from Miller®, Lincoln®, ESAB®, Everlast®, and more—ranging from entry-level to industrial-grade machines.
Are there any rebates or discounts?
Yes! Many TIG welders qualify for instant savings, free gear, or manufacturer rebates like Miller’s Build With Blue™ program. Offers are valid while supplies last.
What is the duty cycle of a TIG welder?
Duty cycle indicates how long a welder can operate within a 10-minute period. Higher duty cycles are better for extended welding sessions and industrial use.
Can TIG welders be used for stick welding?
Some TIG welders offer dual functionality and support Stick (SMAW) welding. Look for models labeled TIG/Stick or with selectable output modes.
Is TIG welding suitable for beginners?
TIG welding requires more skill than MIG or Stick, but many Cyberweld models include features like pulse control and remote foot pedals to assist new users.
What materials can be welded with TIG?
TIG welding works on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and more. It’s preferred for thin metals and applications requiring cosmetic welds.
Do I need filler metal for TIG welding?
Not always. TIG welding can be done autogenously (without filler) on thin materials, but filler rods are used when joining thicker sections or dissimilar metals.
How do I maintain a TIG welder?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the torch, inspecting cables, replacing tungsten electrodes, and checking gas flow. Proper care ensures consistent performance.
