1. Gas
TIG welding requires a shielding gas to protect the weld from outside contaminants.

The good news is it doesn’t matter what kind of metal you’re welding; pure argon gas alone will cover almost every TIG application, so you won’t need to swap between bottles. (You can still get gas mixtures for specific applications, however.)

TIG welding requires a flow meter so you can adjust the gas flow rate. Every UNIMIG TIG welding machine comes with the needed flow meter, which you insert into the top of your gas tank.
The flow meter has two parts: a pressure gauge and a flow tube. The pressure gauge tells you how much gas is left in the tank and the tube (which is adjusted by a valve on the side) shows you how much gas is pumping into your torch per minute.
Turn the valve so that it’s fully closed before you open your gas bottle. An 8-10L per minute gas flow is a standard amount that will cover all metal types and keep your weld safe.

If you have a high-frequency torch, you can activate it with the button (or foot control), which also controls your gas. If you have a Lift Arc torch (which comes with a valve), you are limited to lift starts and scratching (however, scratching isn’t recommended as you can cause tungsten inclusions at the beginning of your weld).
