TIG Welder Setup and First Arc Strike on Röhr HP-160L for Mild Steel
The core principle described is Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding theory, defined by a non-contact arc generation mechanism where a high-voltage electrical discharge initiates between a consumable or non-consumable tungsten electrode and the workpiece in an inert shielding gas atmosphere. This process utilizes thoriated tungsten electrodes with specific geometric point configurations to stabilize the plasma column and protect the molten pool from atmospheric contamination via argon flow control, distinguishing it as a precision joining method within the broader domain of fusion welding metallurgy for mild steel applications.
