Spot Welding using TIG

By psilzle Date 10-06-2004 20:13

Wondering if anybody has any experience in spot welding with TIG? We currently have a job that requires both TIG welding and spot welding. We are switching back and forth between the 2 machines. The spotting is done with a hanging spot welder and can be a pain to work with. If there was an easy way to use the existing TIG torch to also do some or all the spot welds, it would be helpful in some areas. We are welding .06" SS to .06" SS.

Thank you,

Paul Silzle

Paul,

We do alot of tig spot welding in our shop for the rail industry. The material we use it on is light gauge S.S.. You would not believe the job this process does. It makes a beautyful looking weld, and requires no filler material. you will need a power source with a timer. We use a Miller Syncrowave 250 DX, with the Tec Tig Spot gun. The gun is made by a company called TEC TORCH CO. San Marcos CA. I don't know if they have a web site, but I'm sure your welding supply house could give you more info. talk to them about your requirements, they will be glad to help.
