What type of metals can be welded using TIG welding besides aluminum?

TIG welding, or Tungsten Inert Gas welding, is a versatile welding process that is applicable to a variety of metals. Among those metals, stainless steels and magnesium are particularly well-suited for TIG welding due to the process's ability to produce high-quality, precise welds with good control over heat input.

Stainless steels are commonly used in a variety of industries because they offer excellent corrosion resistance and strength. The TIG welding process allows for excellent control, making it possible to achieve clean and strong welds with stainless steel while minimizing distortion.

Magnesium, on the other hand, is often used in applications where weight savings are crucial, such as in aerospace and automotive industries. TIG welding provides the necessary heat control to avoid burning through the thin sections often found in magnesium components.

Other options do not fully capture the range of metals that can be effectively welded with the TIG process. For instance, while nonferrous metals can certainly be welded, this classification is broader and not specific enough. High carbon steels may be welded but are more commonly suited for other processes, as they require careful heat management to avoid issues such as brittleness. Low-quality alloys may not respond as well to the precision of TIG welding, which favors high-quality base materials for
