Rethinking Steel Root Passes

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) has long been the benchmark for producing high-quality root passes in steel welding. The process consistently delivers excellent control and weld quality, making it a trusted choice for critical applications across a wide array of industries where weld integrity is paramount. Alongside shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), manual GTAW root pass procedures have historically been relied on for many projects; however, fabricators and contractors are facing growing pressure to complete proj..
