In the industrial sector, TIG welding is a common method of combining metals. The strength and integrity of these weld beads are frequently what determine the quality of a building's welds. Understanding and modifying welding parameters is necessary to produce high-quality weld beads because, according to research, the ideal welding current can increase joint hardness up to a point when diminishing returns happen. Overcurrent can cause problems such as material gaps, splashing and workpiece damage, which will ultimately lower the quality and efficiency of the weld. Dye penetration testing is a standard procedure to improve TIG weld bead quality, and microscopic inspection of weld zones aids in assessing the influence of welding parameters on weld quality.
