Abstract

Joining of dissimilar materials has gained a lot of interest in the recent years due to the increased demand of high strength and light weight designs. Fusion welding plays a vital role in repairing and manufacturing industries like automobile, construction, ship building, and energy sector. Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is more advantageous over other welding processes as it produces high precision welds with aesthetic appearance. The limitation of the process is shallow penetration, distorted and weaker joint formation, and low productivity. In the present work, a critical review and analysis has been done on weld penetration and its enhancement during TIG, activated flux TIG, and pulsed current TIG welding of steels. The purpose of this review is to raise an insight about using the variants of TIG, minimising the energy consumption and heat affected zone while increasing the weld penetration and productivity. Proper selection of welding parameters along with welding speed, electrode diameter, shielding gas, electrode tip angle, arc gap, and flux greatly increase the weld penetration.
