What is Micro Tig Welding?

Microscopic Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding is a welding process that utilizes a microscope with 40X magnification and a specialized microscopic TIG torch for micro-precision welding. This welding process is ideal for small, intricate welds that cannot be performed using normal TIG welding processes. Micro TIG welding is also useful in areas where the risk of warping in the heat-affected zone must be reduced. This is accomplished with low amperage inputs and small diameter wires. Filler material wires can also be used during this process to build reliable welds and can go down to .005”.

Is Micro TIG Welding Right for You?

At Superior Joining Technologies, Inc, we help our customers determine if their projects are the right fit for micro TIG welding. As part of the Micro GTAW welding services, we always provide pre-heating to help prevent cracking. Additionally, we keep filler materials in stock to match the base metal material quickly with no time lost on material orders. 

Micro TIG Welding Advantages

  • Achieve a deeper penetration
  • Reach difficult areas
  • Durable and discrete welds
  • Lower cost than remaking the damaged part
  • Faster and less expensive than laser welding
  • Welds as small as .010 mean less machining is needed.

Micro TIG Welding Applications

SJTI provides a welding service of repairing minute-detailed features on plastic injection and die-cast molds. We are using a Miller Maxsta. In addition to micro GTAW welding, we also offer manual GTAW and longitudinal seam GTAW weldingr 152 inverter welding power source with a modified 5240 Olympus stereo microscope. These key components are supported by a fully equipped welding lab dedicated to micro-weld repair. This enables our staff to perform intricate build-up operations that allow the customer to recover valuable time and expense. Repairs of this type are typically a result of design modifications or machining errors. Micro-weld deposits are readily machined to leave no evidence of the weld operation. We keep a full inventory of tool-steel filler materials in stock in a variety of sizes for a wide spectrum of applications.
