TIG (GTAW) Welding

5.06  TIG (GTAW) Welding Problems

FAULT

CAUSE

REMEDY

1 Excessive bead build up or 

poor penetration or poor 

fusion at edges of weld.

Welding current is too 

low

Increase weld current and/or faulty joint 

preparation.

2 Weld bead too wide and 

flat or undercut at edges 

of weld or excessive burn 

through.

Welding current is too 

high

Decrease weld current.

3 Weld bead too small or 

insufficient penetration or 

ripples in bead are widely 

spaced apart.

Travel speed too fast

Reduce travel speed.

4 Weld bead too wide or 

excessive bead build up or 

excessive penetration in 

butt joint.

Travel speed too slow

Increase travel speed.

5 Uneven leg length in fillet 

joint

Wrong placement of 

filler rod

Re-position filler rod.

6 Electrode melts or oxidises 

when an arc is struck.

A Torch lead connected 

to positive welding 

terminal.

A Connect torch lead to negative welding 

terminal.

B No shielding gas 

flowing to welding 

region.

B Check the shielding gas lines for kinks 

or breaks and shielding gas cylinder 

contents.

C Torch is clogged with 

dust or dirt.

C Clean torch.

D Shielding gas hose is 

damaged.

D Replace shielding gas hose.

E Shielding gas regulator 

turned off.

E Turn On Shielding Gas and adjust 

Shielding Gas flow rate for the welding 

job. Refer to Table 5-7 on Page 5-10.

F The electrode is too 

small for the welding 

current.

F Increase electrode diameter or reduce the 

welding current.

7 Dirty weld pool

A Electrode contaminated 

by contact with work 

piece or filler rod 

material.

A Clean the electrode by grinding off the 

contaminates.

B Work piece surface has 

foreign material on it.

B Clean surface.

C Shielding gas 

contaminated with air.

C Check shielding gas lines for cuts and 

loose fitting or change shielding gas 

cylinder.

8 Poor weld finish

Inadequate shielding 

gas.

Increase shielding gas flow or check 

shielding gas line for shielding gas flow 

problems.
