TST45015X10 - Tip TIG TST450 Standard System, 450A, 15ft Torch, 10ft Interconnect

Revolutionary Hot Wire TIG Technology

The Tip TIG TST450 15 X 10 Standard System represents the pinnacle of semi-automatic GTAW technology. Designed for high-precision industrial applications, this system integrates Tip TIG's proprietary dynamic wire feeding mechanism with a hot wire power source. The core innovation lies in the mechanical vibration of the filler wire as it enters the weld pool. This vibration, combined with resistive preheating of the wire (Hot Wire), dramatically alters the physics of the TIG process.

By agitating the molten puddle, the TST450 disrupts surface tension, ensuring exceptional wetting action and side-wall fusion, even at lower heat inputs. The hot wire current brings the filler metal to a semi-molten state before it touches the pool, significantly increasing deposition rates—often matching or exceeding Pulse MIG speeds—while maintaining the metallurgical purity and aesthetic quality of traditional TIG. This system is rated for 450 Amps at 100% duty cycle, making it suitable for heavy-wall pipe, pressure vessels, and thick-plate fabrication.

The "Standard System" configuration is mounted on a robust industrial cart, providing a stable platform for the wire feeder, control unit, and cooler integration. The included 15-foot torch offers extended reach for complex assemblies, while the 10-foot interconnect cable allows flexibility in positioning the unit relative to the primary power source. The system is compatible with most standard constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV) power supplies, making it a versatile addition to any advanced welding cell.
