High-quality, attractive welds
The TIG welding process allows for greater control than other welding techniques, meaning it’s possible to achieve much neater and more precise welds
TIG welding service at Knees Engineering
Knees Engineering provides a comprehensive range of welding services to businesses from a variety of sectors. TIG, or tungsten inert gas, welding forms an essential part of this offering.
Renowned for its ability to produce strong and aesthetically pleasing joins, TIG welding is a specialist process that requires a high level of skill and training. With years of experience behind them, our in-house TIG welders can manufacture components and assemblies of various sizes and levels of complexity.
We can perform TIG welding on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals including:
- Mild steel
- Stainless steel
- Aluminium
- Brass
- Copper
- Bronze and more.
Our factory includes dedicated welding bays, along with an innovative robotic arm that enables us to complete high volume welding jobs quickly and accurately. We also have full facilities for MIG welding, spot welding, stud welding and linishing.

What are the benefits of TIG welding?
Although TIG welding can be more challenging and time-consuming than other welding techniques, the method is capable of producing exceptional results. Some of the benefits of TIG welding include:
What is TIG welding?
TIG welding is a sub-type of gas metal arc welding, a technique that uses electricity and heat to join metals together.
During the process, an electrical arc (short circuit) is formed between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the workpiece metal. The arc generates heat which then melts the base metal and creates the weld pool.
As in MIG welding, an inert shielding gas (usually argon) protects the weld puddle from atmospheric contamination. Once the weld pool is created, the torch is moved along the join and the arc progressively melts the surfaces to be fused. A filler wire is sometimes added to the weld pool to fill the joint.
TIG welding is a notoriously difficult technique to learn. Its complexity also means it can be more time-consuming and expensive when compared with alternative methods.
However, once mastered, the technique can produce very neat and precise welds.
