TIG rods

In the TIG process, the arc is ignited under an argon or helium shielding gas atmosphere between a pointed tungsten electrode and the workpiece. The intense arc is particularly suitable for high-quality and precise welding work. As the tungsten electrode does not burn off during welding, only the base material is melted by the heat of the arc. The separate filler metal can be fed into the welding process manually or automatically.

Castolin has developed CastoTIG®, a range of special build-up alloys for industrial wear protection, repair and joining applications, which is complemented by a complete, high-quality CastoTig® welding equipment range using the latest technologies.
