TIG Welding Aluminum Course

TIG welding of aluminum is a demanding but highly useful skill for anyone involved in manufacturing, repair, or prototyping of metal structures. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) is a process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and a shielding gas, most commonly argon. Due to its precision and aesthetic results, it is ideal for welding thin materials and all cases where the appearance of the weld is of key importance.

The course takes place in a small group (2 participants), with an emphasis on direct mentorship and practical work. Participants will develop a feel for the material and master aluminum welding techniques – the most in-demand area of TIG welding among the users of Center Rog.
