At Machinefabriek Boessenkool in Almelo we have a very extensive machine park that meets all the latest requirements. With these machines of the best quality we can perform many different machining activities for our customers, from small to large format. Our professionals with the necessary knowledge and experience are happy to get started for you. You have also come to the right place for TIG welding. With this welding technique you are assured of a smooth finish of your workpiece.
TIG stands for ‘tungsten inert gas’. Tungsten is ‘wolfraam’ in Dutch. This is a chemical element and a grey-white transition metal. Tungsten has a high melting point and is therefore used as an electrode in various alloys for TIG welding.
TIG welding is a specific welding technique and belongs to the category of electric arc welding. This technique works with a non-melting electrode. TIG welding differs from other techniques such as MIG welding, MAG welding and OP welding, because this welding technique uses a constant current. No welding fumes are released and there is no spattering. TIG welding does not always require filler material. The parts can also be joined by melting the welding group together.
With TIG welding, a very high and precise welding quality can be achieved. This welding technique is often seen as a difficult form, because the filler material has to be added manually and therefore multiple hands are continuously needed. The quality of TIG welding is mainly due to the welder, because these welders determine the quality in the TIG welding process. The experienced welder must ensure that the welding machine is set correctly and that the welding speed and the application of the filler materials are correctly adjusted. Did you know that in addition to TIG welding, we can also do orbital welding, spot welding, BMBE welding and robot welding.
The application area of TIG welding is mainly high-alloy steel, such as stainless steel or aluminum. Due to the low welding speed, it is also used for low-alloy steel with thin plate thicknesses. In addition, TIG welding is suitable for both manual welding and mechanized welding and also for use with welding robots.
The TIG welding technique is often used in places where the appearance of the weld is important. This places special demands on the accuracy of the welding work.
Certificates and inspections always guarantee the best quality of every operation by Machinefabriek Boessenkool. Machinefabriek Boessenkool is authorized for overstamping / stamping for various inspection bodies, including RINA, Lloyds, ABS, DNV, and others.
Welding with the TIG welding technique has several advantages over, for example, MIG/MAG welding. We will name a few advantages of TIG welding:
At Machinefabriek Boessenkool, TIG welding achieves a very high welding quality. During the process, materials are finished neatly and little to no post-processing is required. Because the filler material for TIG welding must be added manually and separately, this technique requires knowledge and accuracy for an optimal and high-quality result that we at Machinefabriek Boessenkool can guarantee. Machinefabriek Boessenkool is EN 1090 certified, is certified in welding and meets ISO 3834, the standard that is set for welding technical quality requirements.
In addition to TIG welding, you can also contact us for other welding techniques, such as MIG welding, including MIG welding stainless steel, MIG welding aluminum and MIG welding steel or cobot welding. And we are also ready for other machining activities, such as CNC turning, milling, grinding or boring. We are happy to advise you for a custom processing.
