A very intense and focussed arc is produced during TIG welding. The advantages are a minimum introduction of heat, narrow seam and welding without filler metals. Only the base material fuses with itself leading to perfect quality visible welds. Very small currents can be set with good TIG inverters, thus enabling the welding of very thin materials.

Industry and trade have been making money with the advantages of TIG welding for a long time.
Whenever demands such as leakproof, safe for foods, visible, etc. are placed on a weld seam, irrespective of this is in stainless steel or aluminium, TIG is the solution. TIG machines used to be big and cumbersome. Moreover, their setting was complicated and their purchase price high. However, the increased use of stainless steel and aluminium means that metalworking companies are having to turn to TIG welding – including on building sites.

TIG welding for you.
Which is why we have developed our HANDY inverters to spare you any problems. Small, lightweight and handy. Therefore easy to use, because a lot of what you previously had to set has been integrated during their development as "artificial intelligence". Each machine is designed for welding from a 230 V lighting mains. Since anything which is good sells easily, we have consistently been able to lower the price.

But what do you get out of this technology?
Mobility. For the workshop and building site. Because the final erection of stainless steel railings, aluminium facings and similar orders can now be carried out with no problems "outdoors". Nor do you have to mask off large areas, spattering is a thing of the past. Everything is lighter, smaller and easier to handle. Convincing advantages over the "heavyweight" rivals. You drastically reduce finishing work, because the look and quality of your seam is perfect.
As we said: TIG earns you money.

What else do you have to know.
There is a choice of DC and AC welding. DC welding is used for steel, stainless steel and copper, ac for aluminium and magnesium. A further important difference is the striking method: one chooses between non-contact HF ignition and contact ignition, also called lift-arc ignition. During contact ignition the tungsten electrode is placed on the workpiece - a low current flows, the system switches over to the welding current by raising the electrode slightly, the arc is ignited.
The advantages of this method are a low purchase price and no interference with other electronic devices through HF. However, there is the risk that tungsten impurities will remain on the workpiece, which can lead to corrosion. During HF (= High-frequency) striking the tungsten electrode is kept at a distance. Short HF pulses ionise the air gap between electrode and workpiece. The arc ignites. An absolutely professional ignition method.
When all is said and done, anyone who does without TIG technology today is not doing himself a favour, because TIG welding has become simpler.
