TIG (Argon) Welding
Ankay Büküm performs precision TIG argon welding on thin-wall, stainless steel, and aluminum parts.
What Is TIG (Argon) Welding?
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is a high-quality arc welding process using a tungsten electrode and pure argon shielding gas. The complete protection of the weld pool from atmospheric effects produces clean, porosity-free, and aesthetically superior weld seams. At Ankay Büküm in Ankara's Ostim Industrial District, we perform precision TIG welding particularly for stainless steel, aluminum, and thin-wall parts. With over 30 years of experience, we serve as solution partners for projects in the food, chemical, and energy sectors requiring superior weld quality.
Application Areas
- Food and Pharmaceutical Industry: Stainless steel pipe lines, tank internal surface welding, hygienic process equipment, and sterile connection elements
- Chemical and Petrochemical: Corrosion-resistant reactor parts, heat exchanger tube bundle welding, and acid-resistant tank fabrication
- Energy Sector: Steam boiler pipe welding, nuclear-grade welding applications, and precision turbine part joining
- Aerospace and Defense: Thin-wall aluminum and titanium part welding, precision-tolerance body assemblies
- Custom Fabrication: Decorative stainless steel products, architectural steel accessory welding, and aesthetic seam requirements
Technical Capacity and Specifications
Our facility houses AC/DC TIG welding machines. DC TIG welds steel and stainless steel from 0.5 mm to 8 mm thick; AC TIG welds aluminum from 1 mm to 10 mm. Orbital TIG welding capacity for thin-wall pipes is also available. Welding current is precision-adjustable from 5A to 300A. Argon gas purity of 99.99% directly impacts weld quality, and our facility uses high-purity gas.
Quality Assurance
Our TIG welding operations comply with EN ISO 3834-2 standards. Stainless steel welding includes heat input control, back-purge gas protection, and post-weld passivation. NDT inspections include visual testing (VT), leak testing (LT), and penetrant testing (PT). Food sector projects maintain FDA and EHEDG compliance.
