Certified
TIG Welding (GTAW)
TIG is our method of choice for critical joints that demand precision, hygiene, and a clean finish. Our certified TIG welders deliver spatter-free, dimensionally accurate welds—at our workshop or on-site—backed by solid procedures and clear documentation.
Why TIG with De Weerd
- Precision & appearance
Fine control of heat input for neat beads and minimal distortion—ideal for visible and thin-gauge work - Hygienic roots
Back purging/inerting to keep the root oxide-free for food & pharma applications - Documented quality
Welders qualified to EN ISO 9606-1; WPS/WPQR prepared and safeguarded by IWT; IWI inspection as required
Materials & capabilities
- Materials
Stainless & duplex steels, carbon steels, aluminium (AC/DC), nickel & copper alloys; titanium on request - Work
Thin-gauge sheet and tube, precision frames, machine & equipment parts, sanitary pipework - Set-up
Precise fit-up, backing/purging solutions, heat input and interpass control for repeatable results
Applications
- Sanitary and process piping with oxide-free roots
- Machine frames, skids, and sheet-metal fabrications
- Aluminium enclosures, brackets, housings (AC TIG)
- Repair and rework of high-value components
Quality & inspection
- WPS/WPQR per EN ISO 15609/15614 and welder quals per EN ISO 9606-1
- Acceptance classes per ISO 5817 / ISO 10042
- VT by IWI; NDT (PT/MT/UT/RT) coordinated where required
- Pickling & passivation for stainless when specified
