Too Afraid to Ask

TIG welding is a method of joining metal pieces together using a special tool that creates a very hot arc. It's great for making strong and precise welds, especially on thin metal.

Technical Definition

TIG welding, or Tungsten Inert Gas welding, is a welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. It is known for its precision and ability to weld thin materials.
