MILLER - WELDCRAFT TIG Torches

Includes air-cooled (below 250 A) and water-cooled (above 200 A) torches designed for use with Miller TIG welders. Feature a pen-style head design with ergonomic contact points to reduce operator fatigue & a finger-tip gas control for precisely controlling arcs 

What are some compatible accessories suitable for use with Miller Weldcraft TIG torches?

• Miller Electric power source packages: These Miller Electric power sources provide AC or DC power and inert gas supply to Miller Weldcraft TIG torches.
• Tungsten packages: These tungsten electrode packages are attached to Miller Weldcraft TIG torches for forming welding arcs between themselves & the workpiece.
• Foot or fingertip control: This foot or fingertip control is ideal for controlling the current supply to Miller Weldcraft TIG torches for welding.

What is the difference between TIG & MIG welding?

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding uses a static, non-consumable electrode, whereas metal inert gas (MIG) welding uses a consumable electrode that acts as a filler metal to meltdown & fill the gap between the metals to be joined. TIG welding may require the addition of a small diameter filler rod into the arc while the MIG welding electrode is continuously fed into the welding gun / torch from a wire pool. MIG welding electrodes are selected based on the welded materials. However, the TIG welding electrodes are always made of tungsten or its alloys.

How to choose between different types of tungsten rods while using Miller-Weldcraft TIG torches?

• Pure tungsten electrodes: These pure tungsten electrodes use an AC power source to form a clean balled end on heating and provide good arc stability.
• 2% Ceriated tungsten electrodes: These tungsten electrodes (having 2% Cerium) perform well in both DC & AC welding processes and show excellent arc starting at low current settings.
• 2% Lanthanated tungsten electrodes: These tungsten electrodes have 2% Lanthanum for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloy, titanium & aluminium materials in both AC & DC power settings.
• Rare Earth tungsten electrodes: These tungsten electrodes combine the best of all alloying rare earth metals to provide arc stability for welding all metals in AC / DC settings.

Which materials support AC or DC powered TIG torches?

AC powered TIG torches are generally used for welding non-ferrous metals like aluminium & magnesium, while DC powered Miller Weldcraft TIG torches are suitable for welding ferrous alloys like steel or stainless steel.
