Gas. GTAW is Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. TIG is also commonly call Heliarc® welding, but Heliarc® is a brand name of the Linde Company, not a process. Heliarc® comes from Helium Arc Welding, as helium is an inert gas used to keep impurities from the weld. Today most TIG welding is done with 100% Argon shielding gas.

TIG welding gives the most beautiful and clean welds with the most precision and control. It is the best process for welding dissimilar size items together. The drawback to TIG welding is that it takes a high skill level, and it is slow.

TIG welding is often used in welding Aluminum, however welding Aluminum with TIG requires an AC high frequency power source. The Campbell Hausfeld Arcitech 110 has DC only output, so it can not weld Aluminum with the TIG process.
