Gas tungsten arc welding for stainless steel, alloy and thin-wall work where weld cleanliness and control matter more than deposition speed.
Direct answer
Gulf Orbit supplies TIG and argon welders across Saudi Arabia for stainless steel, alloy and thin-wall welding on petrochemical, industrial and fabrication work.
State the material (stainless, alloy or carbon steel), the pipe sizes, and the qualification test the site requires.
Request a quoteTIG on carbon steel and TIG on duplex stainless are not the same skill. When you raise a TIG requirement, name the material and the wall thickness. That single line changes which workers are put forward and is the most common reason a welder who is genuinely competent still fails a client test.
On stainless and alloy pipework, root quality depends as much on purge discipline as on the welder's hand. If the scope includes closed-root pipe welding that will be radiographed, say so, because it changes both the crew and the time each joint takes.
TIG is the process of choice where there is little metal to work with: thin-wall pipe, small-bore process lines and instrument tubing. Heat control decides everything. Too much heat and the root sags or burns through; too little and it does not fuse. Socket welds and butt welds on small-bore lines also need different habits. If your scope includes small-bore or tubing work, say so and give the sizes, so welders practised at that scale are put forward.
TIG welders often work in a mixed welding crew: TIG welders run the roots, and 6G welders fill and cap where the procedure uses stick welding. Pipe fitters prepare and fit up each joint, a helper handles purge equipment and grinding, and a supervisor tracks the weld map. On stainless work, the crew keeps its own segregated tools. Send the joint breakdown by material, and the mix is proposed for your scope.
Send how many workers you need for Welder (TIG / Argon), the city, the start date and the duration. CVs and documents for each worker come to you for approval, and nobody mobilizes before you approve them. See the full request process
Yes. Name the material grade, wall thickness and inspection standard in the requirement so workers are matched against the actual joint rather than the process name.
Yes. Mixed welding crews are normal on industrial scopes; send the joint breakdown and the mix can be proposed.
The procedure or code the site tests to, the material grade, wall thickness and welding position. Welders are matched to that before CVs are sent.
Gulf Orbit has supplied turnaround and outage crews in Jubail Industrial City, Ras Tanura and Yanbu. Send the window and the joint breakdown early, because welders are among the first trades a turnaround needs.
Yes. TIG (gas tungsten arc welding) uses argon as its shielding gas, which is why the trade is often called argon welding on Saudi sites. The register lists it as one trade: Welder (TIG / Argon).
It depends on the procedure. Many pipe procedures use TIG for the root and hot pass, then stick (SMAW) for fill and cap. State the procedure, so you get TIG welders for the root and, if needed, separate welders for the fill.
