ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for TIG welding by passing an alternating current between a non-consumable electrode and a workpiece to form an arc, which apparatus comprises a single reactor, passing a direct current from a direct current power supply through a first portion of the reactor and in a negative direction from the workpiece to the electrode for creating a heating cycle, switchably disconnecting the direct current power supply from the circuit and immediately connecting the second portion of the reactor in a positive direction across the electrode and workpiece for creating a short cleaning cycle for cleaning the workpiece preparatory to the next heating cycle. These cycles are continued to create a TIG welding process.
