Explain TIG welding

admin

Could someone explain to me how TIG works.How it is done.Why do you sharpen the Tungsten?I know i must sound like a real dummy but ive never done it,never seen it done.I want to see if its something id be interested in learning.Like ive said before im just a stick welder.
Reply:Go to miller's web site.  They have the tig welding manuals for free on downloads.  It covers all of the basics.  That's what I did.  I don't think that you'll find a better general answer to your question here without someone writing a book in a post.  http://www.millerwelds.com/pdf/gtawbook.pdf Good luck,Rene
