tungsten-inert gas welding tungsten-inert gas welding[′təŋ·stən i′nərt ¦gas ‚weld·iŋ] (metallurgy) Welding in which an arc plasma from a nonconsumable tungsten electrode radiates heat onto the work surface, to create a weld puddle in a protective atmosphere provided by a flow of inert shielding gas; heat must then travel by conduction from this puddle to melt the desired depth of weld. Abbreviated TIG welding. |
