8. TIG-derived processes
Derivatives of the TIG process were mainly developed to increase process productivity. They are always automatic processes. The four most important are presented below.
8.1 Hybrid laser process – TIG
The combination of arc and laser welding processes combines the various advantages of both processes, creating synergy between them . As shown above, the TIG process is not capable of achieving high welding speeds. Therefore, by combining it with a laser beam, it is possible to increase the productivity of the...
