TIG WELDING PROBLEMS

Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and

protective clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding

area.

TIG welding defects and prevention methods

Defect

Possible cause

Action

Excessive bead build up, poor
penetration or poor fusion at the
edges of the weld

Weld current too low

Increase the welding amperage

Poor material prep

Weld bead flat and too wide or
undercut at the weld edge or burning
through

Weld current too high

Decrease the welding amperage

Weld bead too small or insufficient
penetration

Welding travel speed too fast

Reduce your welding travel speed

Weld bead too wide or excessive
bead build up

Welding travel speed too slow

Increase your welding travel speed

Uneven leg length in fillet joint

Wrong placement of filler rod

position filler rod

Tungsten melts or oxidises when
welding arc is made

TIG torch lead connected to +

Little or no gas flow to weld pool

Gas cylinder or hoses contain
impurities

The tungsten is too small for the
weld current

TIG/MMA selector set to MMA

Connect to

polarity

Check gas apparatus as well as torch and
hoses for breaks or restrictions

Change gas cylinder and blow out torch
and gas hoses

Increase the size of the tungsten

Ensure you have the power source set to
TIG function
