Keyhole TIG
Welding
Full-Penetration, Single-Pass
The best way to get top-quality weld seams. Simple and cost-effective. Extremely high energy density for the fastest welding speeds with less rework and prep.
Single-Pass Keyhole
Welding — Reinvented
Full-penetration, single-pass keyhole TIG welding. Almost no edge bevelling needed. Highly repeatable, x-ray-quality welds with clean root and cap profiles.
The Keyhole Welding Process
Watch TIP TIG focus create full-penetration keyhole welds in a single pass. No edge prep required.
Why TIP TIG focus?
Keyhole penetration with TIG-quality results. Faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than any competing process.
Full Penetration up to ½ inup to 12 mm
Single-pass keyhole welding without multi-pass requirements.
No Spatter
Clean welds with flat layer surfaces. Minimal post-processing.
600% Faster
Much higher welding speeds than traditional TIG.
Minimal HAZ
Low heat input zone preserves material properties and reduces distortion.
Almost No Joint Prep
Almost no edge bevelling needed. Saves significant prep time.
Fast Setup
Easy parameter selection and simple electrode/spare part changing.
All-Position Welding
Flexible welding position capability for thin and thick sheets.
Reduced Consumable Costs
Uses as little as 12% of the shielding gas normally required.

TIP TIG focus vs.
Plasma Welding (PAW)
Plasma keyhole welding was the standard. TIP TIG focus outperforms it in every category.
| Plasma (PAW) | TIP TIG focus | |
|---|---|---|
| Penetration | Up to 5/16 inUp to 8 mm | Up to ½ inUp to 12 mm |
| Max Speed | 20 IPM500 mm/min | 47 IPM1200 mm/min |
| Complexity | Complex — many critical parameters | Very simple setup |
| Fit-Up Tolerance | Requires exact fit-up | Tolerates joint imperfections |
| Keyhole Close-Out | Difficulties — voids and defects | Simple — no voids |
| Consistency | Inconsistent — orifice erosion | Very consistent — no process drift |
| Maintenance Cost | High | Low |
| Consumable Cost | High | Low |
Lowest Cost
Per Weld FootPer Weld Meter
At just $1.25/ft, TIP TIG focus costs less than half of plasma welding At just $4.10/m, TIP TIG focus costs less than half of plasma welding and a fraction of conventional TIG. The most economical keyhole welding solution on the market.
