TIG Welding Services
Fine, aesthetic welds on thin-gauge or high-tolerance parts are hard to source. Most fabrication shops are built around speed, and speed is the enemy of a clean, distortion-free TIG weld. If your project needs a weld that holds tight tolerances and passes visual inspection without rework, you need a shop that treats TIG as its own discipline, not a line item on a broader welding page.
ABT Metals Manufacturing provides TIG welding services for aerospace, automotive, defense, and industrial manufacturing buyers who can’t accept porosity, spatter, or warping on a finished part. Our welders run Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) on aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, and nickel, working from your prints and specifications to hold the tolerances your application demands
Why Manufacturers Choose ABT for TIG Welding
TIG welding is a slower, more controlled process than MIG or robotic welding, and that control is the point. Where MIG welding suits thicker material and higher-volume runs, TIG gives us precise heat input, minimal spatter, and a finished weld that often needs no secondary cleanup. That combination is why procurement teams specify TIG welding services for parts where the weld itself is a visible, load-bearing, or inspection-critical feature.
Materials We TIG Weld
Custom TIG welding depends on matching the process to the base metal, and our welders are equipped to do that across:
- Stainless steel — Stainless steel TIG welding is our most requested application, used where corrosion resistance and a clean weld bead both matter, from food-grade equipment to structural assemblies.
- Aluminum — Aluminum TIG welding services require tighter heat control than steel to avoid burn-through on thin sections. Our welders adjust amperage and filler selection per part, not by a single default setting.
- Nickel alloys — Nickel and nickel-based alloys are common in aerospace and high-temperature applications; TIG is typically the only process that holds the tolerance these parts need.
- Carbon steel — For structural and industrial parts where a precise, low-distortion weld still matters more than raw speed.
Whether you need a small batch run for design validation or a production run of thousands of assemblies, our shop is built to scale with you.
Custom TIG Welding for Complex Projects
Every TIG welding project we take on starts with your drawings and specifications, not a standard template. Whether you need a single prototype weldment or a production run of identical assemblies, our team builds a weld sequence that controls heat input and part distortion from the first pass to the last.
TIG welding rarely stands alone in a fabrication project. Parts that need precision welds often also need laser cutting to prep clean edges before welding, tube bending to form the assembly’s geometry, or CNC milling and turning to finish critical features after the weld is complete.
Running all of it under one roof means fewer handoffs and fewer chances for a tolerance to drift between vendors. For applications where MIG or robotic welding is a better fit than TIG, our robotic, MIG, and TIG welding page covers the full range of what our welding department handles.
Precision TIG Welding for Regulated Industries
Buyers in aerospace, automotive, and military and defense manufacturing come to us specifically for precision TIG welding services, because these industries can’t treat weld quality as optional. A weld that fails a visual or dye-penetrant inspection is a part that gets scrapped, and a scrapped part on an aerospace program costs more than the material.
We work directly with engineering and procurement teams to confirm weld specifications, filler material, and inspection requirements before production starts, so there are no surprises at final QA.
Request a TIG Welding Quote
If your project needs a fabrication partner who treats TIG welding as a precision discipline, not an add-on service, request a quote and tell us about your material, tolerances, and timeline. Our team will follow up with next steps and, where useful, a call with one of our welding specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Tig Welding Services
What is TIG welding used for?
TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) is used for projects that need a clean, precise weld with minimal spatter and tight heat control, including aerospace components, automotive assemblies, and thin-gauge or aesthetic parts where the weld itself is visible or inspection-critical.
What materials can be TIG welded?
ABT Metals TIG welds aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, and nickel alloys. Each material requires different amperage, filler, and shielding gas settings, which our welders adjust per project rather than using a single standard setup.
How is TIG welding different from MIG welding?
TIG welding is slower and more controlled, producing a cleaner weld with less spatter and better suited to thin materials and precision work. MIG welding runs faster and handles thicker material more efficiently, which makes it a better fit for higher-volume production runs. ABT Metals offers both, along with robotic welding, depending on the project.
