Welding Techniques of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

Dabbing

The dabber variation is used to precisely place weld metal on thin edges. The automatic process replicates the motions of manual welding by feeding a cold filler wire into the weld area and dabbing (or oscillating) it into the welding arc. It can be used in conjunction with pulsed current, and is used to weld a variety of alloys, including titanium, nickel, and tool steels. Common applications include rebuilding seals in jet engines and building up saw blades, milling cutters, drill bits, and mower blades.

Working the puddle

Another method of adding filler rod is instead of dabbing, to rest the filler rod next to the puddle, and melt it down with the TIG torch. This method is typically high deposition and in some cases, can have an advantage over dabbing. One case where it is superior over dabbing is on thin metal. You can move faster by working the puddle therefore it helps with burn through.

Vacuum welding

For industrial applications, superior results can be achieved by eliminating the effects of absorbed gasses at the weld. This can lead to reduced oxidation, reduced workpiece heat carried by convection and stronger materials due to dissolved or reacted gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen.
