Should I buy a MIG or TIG welder?
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is the preferred method if you require the weld to be precise and clean.
Its applications are the most versatile amongst the different welding processes, suitable for mild steel, aluminium, iron and brass, which can only be welded using TIG welding.
It's also the most challenging welding process to learn as it requires coordination with two-hands. One hand holds the torch, and the other feeds the filler metal, the arc voltage is controlled with a foot pedal or a fingertip remote to precisely manage the welding temperature.
Like MIG welding, a non-reactive shielding gas such as argon is required. TIG welding is one of the most sought after methods, and this is due to its many advantages.
The lack of spatter and fumes gives the welder a clear view of the work in hand. The degree of heat required is applied with precision because a pedal controls it.

TIG Welding Techniques
It's critical in TIG welding that the distance between the electrode and the base metal is controlled and within 1mm.
A good welding position is essential and will help the control of the torch. It is recommended that you don't carry out TIG welding directly after hammering and other physical activities because of the precise restrictions required. A comfortable workshop temperature is also highly recommended.
A beginner can start with striking the arc on a flat sheet of steel and learning how to maintain the arc, and it's relation to the weld puddle. Next, try welding on the surface of the sheet without a filler rod.
This exercise will help you understand how the welding puddle moves and maintaining the arc length. You can use the reflection of the tungsten in the weld pool to gauge the current arc length. As you become more familiar with the process, it becomes easier to determine the arc length by the width and length of the arc itself.
Next, you can start adding the filler wire. It's attached to the front of the weld pool- it's melted by the weld pool, not the arc itself. Adding the filler rod will cool the weld pool. Remember to keep the filler rod low- it will prematurely melt if it's held too high, this will also happen if the arc length is too long.
At the end of the weld, the torch is switched off and brought back a little. It's held in position until the post-flow gas has stopped. The post flow gas protects the tungsten and the end of the weld pool.
