OVERVIEW

Advanced Hot Wire TIG Technology

The Tip Tig TST 250 15 X 15 Standard System (SKU: TST25015X15) represents a paradigm shift in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). This system integrates Tip Tig's proprietary vibratory wire feeding technology with a hot wire current, delivered in a robust, portable suitcase form factor. Designed for industrial environments requiring the highest weld integrity, the TST 250 mechanically agitates the weld pool via the filler wire, breaking surface tension and significantly reducing the risk of porosity and lack of fusion.

The system is engineered to operate with a standard constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV) power source, acting as a secondary control unit that manages wire feed speed and wire preheating. The "15 X 15" configuration denotes the inclusion of a 15-foot water-cooled TIG torch and a 15-foot interconnection cable, providing ample reach for large assemblies or field work. The hot wire effect preheats the filler metal before it enters the puddle, increasing deposition rates by up to 400% compared to traditional manual feeding, while maintaining the metallurgical superiority of the TIG process.

Ideally suited for code-quality welding on pipe, pressure vessels, and critical structural components, the TST 250 handles a wide range of alloys, including Stainless Steel, Duplex, Super Duplex, Inconel, and Titanium. The unit's control interface allows for precise adjustment of wire feed dynamics and oscillation, ensuring consistent penetration and bead profile. By automating the wire feed, the system also reduces the dexterity required, allowing operators to focus on torch manipulation and arc control.

FAQ

The system includes the TST 250 portable feeder/oscillator unit, a 15-foot water-cooled TIG torch, and a 15-foot interconnection cable assembly to connect to your power source.

The Tip Tig TST 250 is designed to work with most standard DC or AC/DC TIG welding power sources. It acts as an add-on system that controls the wire feed and hot wire current.

The vibration agitates the weld pool, which helps break surface tension, releases gas to prevent porosity, and improves side-wall fusion, all while allowing for faster travel speeds.

Yes, the Tip Tig system is excellent for aluminum, providing high deposition rates and cleaning action, though the hot wire function is typically used for ferrous and nickel alloys.

The unit passes a secondary current through the filler wire, preheating it to near its melting point before it enters the arc. This allows the wire to melt faster, increasing deposition without adding excess arc energy.

Yes, the included 15-foot torch is water-cooled to handle the higher amperages and duty cycles typically achieved with the Tip Tig process.

The system typically supports standard TIG wire diameters such as 0.030", 0.035", and 0.045", depending on the liner and drive rolls installed.

Yes, the TST 250 is built into a durable suitcase-style housing, making it suitable for field work and easy movement around large fabrication shops.
