Fully autonomous electrode welding and TIG welding

Whether you’re working on exposed installations and construction sites, in the great outdoors, or in an open field, these and many other situations pose a particular challenge for welding specialists. Complex grids often have to be laid to the welding point, or a heavy, noisy generator used—both very costly and time-consuming measures.

With the Ignis Battery, a mains power connection is not required. Thanks to complete independence from the energy supply, you can rely on a stable, high-performance welding process for both manual arc and TIG welding, powered by innovative battery technology. Leaving you to focus fully on the task at hand.

Fronius DC TIG Welders FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using DC TIG welders for steel, stainless and other metals.

What can a DC TIG welder weld, and what can't it?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

A DC TIG welder is the right tool for steel, stainless steel, copper and copper alloys, nickel alloys and titanium. It gives a stable, quiet arc and very clean welds when the metal and gas coverage are right.

It cannot properly weld aluminium or magnesium alloys. Those need alternating current to break up the oxide skin on the surface. If you expect to weld aluminium now or in future, choose an AC/DC machine instead. For stainless, mild steel and thin-walled tube, DC is the usual choice.

Should I choose HF start or lift-arc start?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

High frequency start ignites the arc without touching the tungsten to the workpiece, so there is no risk of contaminating the tip. It is usual on workshop machines. The high frequency can interfere with nearby electronics, so follow the manufacturer's installation advice.

Lift-arc start has you touch the tungsten to the work and lift away, and the machine starts the arc with low current. It avoids high frequency interference and is common on compact site machines. It works well with a little practice and clean material.

What is DC electrode negative and why does it matter?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

For DC TIG the torch is normally connected to the negative terminal, with the earth lead on the positive. Most of the heat then goes into the work rather than the tungsten, which gives good penetration and a long tungsten life.

Connecting the torch to the positive terminal overheats the tungsten very quickly and can ruin it. Follow the manual, check the terminal connections every time you change leads, and confirm the polarity if you also use the machine for stick welding, where the polarity depends on the electrode type.

Is pulse worth having on a DC TIG machine?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Pulse alternates between a high peak and a lower background current. It gives better control of heat on thin sheet, reduces distortion, and helps with out-of-position and root welds on stainless. Many welders also find it helps them time the filler additions.

It is not essential for thick material or for general fabrication where heat is not a concern. Decide based on the kind of work you do most. Pulse needs practice to set well, so start with the manufacturer's guidance and adjust on offcuts.
