ForSale Forney 00392 Tungsten Inert Gas TIG Welding Torch
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used. GTAW is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and light metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys. The process grants the operator greater control over the weld than competing procedures such as shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding, allowing for stronger, higher quality welds. However, GTAW is comparatively more complex and difficult to master, and furthermore, it is significantly slower than most other welding techniques. Forney provides the latest in inverter power supplies that are TIG capable. Converts Forney 390, 391, 393 DC Invertor welder to a Tig Torch assembly. Requires flow meter and a bottle of gas. Will not weld aluminum. Converts Forney 00390 (AT-100), 00391, 00393 DC Invertor welder to a Tig Torch assembly Requires flow meter (85364) and a bottle of gas. Will not weld aluminum.
