TIG torches are essential tools used in Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, a precise welding method that utilizes a tungsten electrode and an inert gas (typically argon) to create a stable and clean weld. The torch is used to direct the heat generated by the welding arc to the workpiece, allowing the welder to fuse metals together with high precision. TIG torches are designed to deliver a consistent flow of gas and electricity to the welding area, while offering excellent control for fine and intricate welds.
TIG torches come in various sizes and designs, catering to different welding needs. They typically consist of several components: a handle, power cable, gas nozzle, tungsten electrode holder, and a switch or trigger to control the welding arc. These torches may be air-cooled or water-cooled depending on the power requirements and the intensity of the welding tasks. Some TIG torches are also available with ergonomic handles, flexible cables, and extended necks to allow for better access in tight or complex welding positions.
