TIG Welding Services

Precise, beautiful welds on thin stainless, aluminum, chromoly and exotic metals, where appearance and control matter most.

TIG welding, or gas tungsten arc welding, uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and a separate filler rod. The welder controls the heat with a foot pedal and feeds filler by hand, which gives exceptional control and clean, stacked-dime welds on thin or delicate metal.

It is slower than MIG, but it is the right choice for thin stainless, aluminum, bicycle and roll-cage tubing, exhaust systems, food equipment and anywhere a weld will be seen or must be leak-tight. We use TIG where its precision pays for itself.

Control for thin metal

Foot-pedal heat control lets us weld thin material without burning through, and finish edges neatly.

Beautiful, precise welds

TIG welds have little spatter and a refined look. For visible work, that means less grinding and a better finish.

Cleanliness required

TIG demands very clean metal. We prepare joints carefully, as contamination shows up immediately in the weld.

Why prep matters most

TIG shows every flaw. Oil from a fingerprint, a trace of oxide or moisture on the filler can ruin a weld. Careful cleaning and storage of filler are part of the process.

What is included

  • Review of metal, thickness and appearance needs
  • Careful cleaning and fit-up
  • Selection of tungsten, filler and gas
  • TIG welding of the joints
  • Light finishing or polishing
  • Inspection for appearance and leaks

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call or send photos

    Tell us what is broken or what you want built and send photos if you can. We plan the visit so the truck arrives ready.

  2. 02

    Look and quote

    We see the work, ask about the metal and access and give you a clear written price.

  3. 03

    Schedule

    We agree a day and an arrival window, and call when we are on the way.

  4. 04

    Safe setup and welding

    Work zone cleared, fire watch in place, then careful welding in the right process for the metal.

  5. 05

    Finish and clean-up

    Welds ground, primed and painted, and the area left clean.

  6. 06

    Walk-through and follow-up

    We walk through the finished work with you and note anything to watch.

Questions

TIG Welding FAQ

When is TIG better than MIG?

On thin metal, stainless, aluminum and visible work where appearance and control matter. MIG is faster for thicker, less visible work.

Is TIG welding slower?

Yes, because the welder controls heat and filler by hand. The precision is the trade-off.

Can TIG weld exhaust and tubing?

Yes. It is well suited to thin-wall tubing and exhaust systems where clean, leak-free welds matter.

Do you TIG weld outdoors?

Wind is a problem for any gas-shielded process. We shield the work or switch process when it is breezy.

Why does TIG welding take so long?

Careful cleaning, controlled heat and hand-fed filler all take time, which is how TIG achieves its clean, precise results.
