Hi
Lads
On a close fitting joint with TIG you can fuse the edges together without using any filler rod
TIG is very similar to gas welding (you use the ark like a flame)
With a DC set and pure argon you san weld any type of steel
stainless inconell titanium ect you can also weld copper
To weld aluminium you need AC (expensive)
Most dc stick welders can be used as a tig welder , with the adition of a TIG torch and some shielding gas
You have to scratch start the arc but it is propper tig welding
The latest inverter type welders are ideal for this
