6 Putting into operation

The TIG welding torch is part of a welding system. When supplied with
appropriate operating resources, they produce an arc for welding. In TIG
welding, a tungsten electrode and an inert gas are used. The molten pool and
the arc are protected by the inert gas from atmospheric interferences. The
electrode holder or gas diffuser is used to transmit current to the tungsten
electrode. The ignition of the arc depends on the type of power supply and will
therefore not be described any further. The cable assembly serves as supply
line and includes all connection elements.
