		Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), commonly known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.
		The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it.
		Arc welding refers to a group of welding processes that use a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt metals at the welding point.

	Arc Welding Processes
		Gas metal arc welding uses an arc between a continuous filler metal (consumable) electrode and the weld pool.
		In plasma arc welding, a shielded arc is struck between a non consumable electrode and the torch body, and this arc transforms an inert gas into plasma.
		The metal to be welded is melted by the intense heat of the arc and fuses together.

	Technical Paper: Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. . . .by Michael Francoeur, President of Joining Technologies - Robotics ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since the arc and plasma is not focusable the concentration of energy in the arc cannot equal with that developed in the electron and laser beam processes and therefore, GTAW welds due to the lower rate of energy input are usually wider and have wider heat affected zones.
		In addition, and due to the slower cooling rate GTAW welds may contain less porosity, lack of fusion or the formation of brittle martensite than can result from the concentrated energy beams of either the laser or electron beam processes which are both characterized by very rapid cooling and weld solidification.
		Gas tungsten arc welding is a thermal process depending on conducted heat through the weld joint materials to achieve penetration.

	Arc welding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Competing welding processes such as resistance welding and oxyfuel welding were developed during this time as well, but both, especially the latter, faced stiff competition from arc welding especially after metal coverings (known as flux) for the electrode, to stabilize the arc and shield the base material from impurities, continued to be developed.

	Talk:Gas tungsten arc welding - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Hardened arc welders across the world are not ashamed to admit that their hearts dance like corks on the ocean when they fall asleep at night and dream of getting to grips with a rod of tungsten, some gas and an arc.
		Welding is most commonly used to stick lumps of metal on to other lumps of metal, until an even bigger lump is formed.
		Such stunts are frowned upon by ordinary gas arc welders (known in the industry as "losers"), because they are really amusing and the gas arc welders (known in the industry as "losers") feel that usual jealous pang like a rod through the brain again.

	Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
		Gas tungsten arc welding (TIG welding, heliarc welding, or GTAW) is a process in which the joining of metals is produced by heating therewith an arc between a tungsten (nonconsumable) electrode and the work.
		This process is similar to other arc welding processes in that the heat is generated by an arc between a nonconsumable electrode and the workpiece, but the equipment and electrode type distinguish TIG from other arc welding processes.
		Welding may also be stopped by withdrawing the electrode from the current quickly, but this can disturb the gas shielding and expose the tungsten and weld pool to oxidation.

	Infrared Measurement of Base Metal Temperature in GTAW
		Since radiation from the arc and the tungsten electrode would affect the temperature measurement by illuminating the sensing point (adding to surface emission), it was attenuated by a band-pass optical filter and a special gas cup.
		Based on the typical emission spectrum of the gas tungsten arc and the Planck's Law emission of the hot base material, a band-pass filter at 1064 nm with a bandwidth of 15.2 nm was selected to reject radiation from the gas tungsten arc.
		It should be noted that the results indicate that pulsing of the arc at typical frequencies used in practice (e.g., 0.1-1.0 Hz) may not have entirely removed the interference, because radiation from the arc and tungsten electrode took approximately 1 s to decay completely after arc termination.

	Gas tungsten-arc welding
		Gas tungsten-arc (GTA) welding is an arc welding process that produces coalescence of metals by heating them with an electric arc between a nonconsumable tungsten electrode and the base metal.
		The weld pod, arc, electrode, and the heated section of the work pieces are protected from atmospheric contamination by a gaseous shield; otherwise, atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen will combine with the molten weld metal and result in a weak, porous weld.
		The electrode used in GTA welding is generally tungsten or a tungsten alloy because other refractory metals would erode too rapidly at the high arc temperatures involved.
