Common questions about our TIG welding services
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, also called GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create an arc that melts the base metal. An inert shielding gas (typically argon) protects the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. Filler metal is added manually as needed, giving the welder precise control over heat input and weld quality.
We TIG weld a wide variety of materials including aluminum (all grades), stainless steel (304, 316, 430, 17-4 PH), carbon steel, 4130 chromoly, titanium, copper, brass, Inconel, Hastelloy, and other exotic alloys. TIG is the most versatile welding process for different materials.
TIG welding offers superior precision, cleaner welds with no spatter, better aesthetics, and excellent control on thin materials. It's preferred for aluminum, stainless steel, visible welds, and critical applications. MIG is faster for thicker materials and production welding, while TIG excels in quality and precision work.
Our welders are AWS D9.1 certified for sheet metal welding, with D17.1 aerospace certification coming soon. We maintain strict quality standards and can provide certification documentation for critical applications. All welders undergo continuous training to maintain their skills.
Turnaround depends on project complexity and current workload. Small repairs and simple fabrications may be completed same-day or within 2-3 days. Larger projects and prototypes typically take 1-2 weeks. Rush services are available for urgent needs. Contact us for a specific timeline for your project.
Yes, we offer mobile TIG welding services throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego for projects that cannot be brought to our shop. On-site welding is ideal for large assemblies, installed equipment, and repair work. Contact us to discuss your on-site welding needs.
