In this Safety and Basic Use class (SBU), you will learn how to use a basic TIG welding equipment setup to create a quality weld bead on mild steel under 1/8" thick.
Welding is the process of fusing materials together. "TIG" stands for "Tungsten Inert Gas." Other names for TIG include Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Heliarc. TIG welding can be used for a wide variety of different metals, and can produce a very pure, precise, and attractive weld with extensive practice. We will be using the NEW ArcMaster 200 ACDC TIG Welder in this class.
