- This brings us to the end of our TIG welding course.
|
00:03 |
Throughout these modules, we've covered everything we believe you need to understand about TIG welding and that means you should now have a far better understanding of the process and the skills involved.
|
00:13 |
Our hope is that after immersing yourself in this course, you've come to realise that TIG welding isn't a black art and instead it's a skill that you can learn and master.
|
00:23 |
Before we finish up, let's take a quick moment to highlight a few key areas of this course that are well worth revisiting.
|
00:31 |
Firstly there really is no substitute for good personal protective equipment.
|
00:35 |
Feeling comfortable in full length overalls, having clear vision with a good quality welding helmet and control of the torch and filler rod thanks to a pair of well fitting gloves are all things that can have hugely positive effects on our ability to TIG weld at the highest level.
|
00:51 |
It's also important that you understand what different metals require and how to prepare and weld them.
|
00:57 |
Although the welding technique won't change dramatically, the settings and setup procedures can vary vastly so revisit the 6 step procedure and print out the material specific guide PDFs found in the resources section to ensure you have the information you need at your fingertips.
|
01:14 |
Next, and I hate to sound like your mum but never underestimate the importance of cleanliness in TIG welding.
|
01:20 |
We don't always get the opportunity to weld new metals in motorsport but we can always do our best to make sure they're prepared to the best of our abilities.
|
01:29 |
Taking the time to do this properly before we even break out the TIG torch will mean that we end up with cleaner and more consistent welds.
|
01:37 |
With the advancements in the current crop of TIG welding machines, there's no better time than now to be purchasing a TIG welder.
|
01:44 |
By using this course and watching the TIG welder buyer's guide module, you'll get an understanding of what capabilities you can have in your very own home or workshop.
|
01:54 |

|
01:59 |
No one's going to lay down a perfect row of shiny dimes on their very first or even their 10th weld.
|
02:06 |
Like any skill, practice makes perfect and from here, you're going to need to put in the hours behind the TIG torch to put into practice everything you're learned.
|
02:15 |
At times this can seem like an uphill battle but remember that we're here to support you with your journey.
|
