TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an inert shielding gas, usually argon, to create exceptionally clean and strong welds. Unlike MIG welding, TIG allows the welder to control heat and filler material separately, making it ideal for thin metals, complex projects, and materials like stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and titanium. At OnHydro Tech in Cambridge, our team specializes in TIG welding for […]

MIG welding uses a continuous wire electrode and shielding gas to create strong, clean welds with precision and efficiency. This process is especially valued in industries like construction, automotive, and custom metal fabrication because it produces high-quality results with faster turnaround compared to traditional stick welding. At OnHydro Tech in Cambridge, our team specializes in MIG welding for both light and heavy-duty applications, ensuring […]
