TIG Welding Guns: A TIG Welder, or Tungsten Inert Gas Welder, also known as a GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welder), is one of the most popular methods for welding aluminum and other thin metals. The TIG welding process uses a long tungsten rod or electrode and an inert shielding gas of argon to produce the weld.
What You’ll Need:
Tungsten Inert Gas welder
Aluminum filler rod
Argon gas
MIG Welding: A MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welder is another type of arc welder used to weld aluminum. The MIG Welder, differs from the TIG Welder because it uses metal welding wiring continuously fed through a welding run to burn and fuse two metals together.
What You’ll Need:
MIG welding machine
Spool gun
Shielding gas (argon)
Aluminum filler
Non-metallic liners
Drive rolls
