Welding process requires high level of skills

If you are already a seasoned TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) or (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) welders, or if you want a TIG welder, I'll give you some things to think about. Good TIG welder can live very well. Sometimes six figures or more. The GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) welding process requires a high level of skill, that's one reason why it pays well. You not only have to manipulate the torch and keep a tight arc length, but when using filler metals, you should also feed the filler rod into the puddle with your non-dominant hand. In addition, if you use water cooling equipment, you should use a rheostat to start the arc and gas flow. Normally, this would be a foot pedal or switch to the TIG torch. Plus, you should read and follow these five important pool of welding, namely: the size of the electrode: this time: the length of the arc: the speed of the journey: and: corner electrodes. This must be done to produce quality welds.

So, there are many things that happen when you are welding with the TIG process. You must have a very high level of concentration, similar to meditation. Then, if you are welding pipe, using the freehand technique or walking the cup, (the 2 techniques I will talk about in future articles), then for most people to be even harder. I say to most people because, welding is a skill, and just like athletes, there is a natural, and some have to work a little harder to hone his skills. I'll go into the technical intricacies of the process of stunning in a future article.

For now, I just wanted to give an overview of the process and talk a little about the many benefits and rewards associated with this process. There are very few disadvantages to GTAW. The most important thing to think about is: It's not very portable. One more thing to consider is: This is a slow process. And wind, and design can affect the weld. This may be true, but the benefits far-weigh the disadvantages. TIG is a super-strong, it makes use of argon or helium or a mixture of both as a shield to protect the weld zone. There is a slag, so the weld bead is deposited to have much less chance of having a discontinuity or defect. Filler metal is not always necessary, without filler metal called autogenous welding. Arc and weld pool clearly visible to the welder. There is no filler metal carried on the bow, so there is light rain very little or not at all. Pulsed inputs can be used to reduce the heat and give more control welders, especially useful in thin metal or exotic metals such as stainless steel, Inconel, Monel, Hastalloy, etc. And of course, welding can be done in all positions. It is very aesthetically pleasing to look at. Another thing about TIG is very flexible and you can weld almost any metal, in fact, it was first developed for the Aerospace industry for welding magnesium. When done correctly, it is welded, it is pretty interesting.

So if you have to consider TIG welding as a career, and think you have what it takes, then I suggest getting some quality training. There are only a handful of quality welding school in the world, and in my opinion, Hobart Institute of Welding Technology in Troy, Ohio is without doubt the best. Great training, and lots of hands on practice, that's what it takes to make your level of skill employed in which you can earn an average wage above directly from the school. Add a few solid years of experience to it and you can earn $ 25 - $ 45 an hour or more, depending on your skill level, location, type of application and if you turn up for work on time.
