1. Introduction to Automated Pipe TIG Welding

Automated Pipe TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) is a highly precise welding process where critical parameters (current, voltage, travel speed, wire feed) are controlled by a machine rather than manually. This automation ensures consistent weld quality, repeatability, and efficiency, especially vital in applications demanding high integrity, such as pressure piping, power generation, and pharmaceutical processing. It eliminates operator fatigue and variability, leading to superior metallurgical properties and reduced rework.
