The melting temperature necessary to weld materials in the gas-tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process is obtained by maintaining an arc between a tungsten alloy electrode and a workpiece. This article discusses the advantages and limitations and applications of the GTAW process. It schematically illustrates the key components of a GTAW manual torch. The article describes the process parameters, such as welding current, shielding gases, and filler metal. It discusses the GTAW process variations in terms of manual welding, mechanized welding, narrow groove welding, and automatic welding.
