What Are the Advantages of Using TIG Welding in Welding Robots?
Welding robots are one of the most important pieces of production equipment in industrial manufacturing. Welding robots are categorized into spot welding and TIG welding types. TIG welding technology has developed rapidly in China and is the most widely used welding technique. While the topic of TIG welding technology may seem too technical, below we’ll explain the advantages of TIG welding in automated welding robot systems.
Most arc welding robots use gas-shielded welding methods (MAG, MIG, TIG). Common thyristor-based, inverter-based, waveform-controlled, and pulsed or non-pulsed welding power sources can all be mounted on robots for TIG welding. Let’s take a look at the advantages of TIG welding in automated robotic welding systems:
With the exception of aluminum and tin—which have very low melting points—it can weld most metals and alloys.
2. AC TIG welding can be used to weld aluminum and aluminum-magnesium alloys, which have relatively active chemical properties and are prone to forming oxide films.
3. It produces no slag and no spatter during welding.
4. It allows for welding in all positions; using pulsed TIG welding reduces heat input, making it suitable for welding 0.1mm stainless steel. It features a high arc temperature, low heat input, high speed, minimal heat affect zone, and minimal weld distortion.
5. The filler metal and its amount are not affected by the welding current.
TIG welding is suitable for carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, refractory metals such as aluminum and aluminum-magnesium alloys, copper and copper alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, as well as ultra-thin sheets as thin as 0.1mm. It enables all-position welding, particularly for hard-to-reach components of complex workpieces.
This concludes our introduction to the advantages of using TIG welding with welding robots. Today, welding technology is a crucial process in industrial production, and TIG welding has become an indispensable technique in the welding of various structures. To enhance product competitiveness, companies must strive to improve their production processes to ensure their products gain public recognition.
