Is square wave TIG better?
Square Wave technology has cut off the top and bottom of that sine wave to allow more time during the cleaning and heating processes. This technology allows much better performance, especially when welding materials like aluminum.
Is AC or DC TIG better?
Some advantages of DC over AC TIG include a more stable arc, higher welding output, deeper penetration, and lower equipment costs. DC TIG welders are substantially cheaper than AC/DC machines, so that you can save money upfront.
What is the best polarity for TIG welding?
What is the correct Polarity when TIG welding? Polarity refers to the direction of current flow when welding. All DC TIG welding (steel, stainless, etc) is done on DC- polarity where the TIG torch is connected to the negative (-) terminal and the earth lead to the positive (+) terminal.
Which is preferred in TIG welding?
The Tungsten part of the TIG equation takes care of the heat required to weld. It sends an arc of electricity to the surface you're welding. Meanwhile, the Inert Gas protects and cools your tungsten and the weld puddle. Argon is typically used and recommended for aluminium welding.
