    Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process which is an arc based welding process that uses the arc between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and a work piece with the help of a shielding gas 1-6. The TIG welding is used to produce high quality welds and isone of the most popular technologies for welding in manufacturing industries 7-12. The main disadvantage of TIG welding process is low weld penetration. The purpose of this review was to look into various techniques that may improve the weld penetration and weld quality in a TIG welding. In this review we discuss the influence of various types methods such as ATIG (Activated Flux TIG), FBTIG (Flux Bounded TIG), PCTIG (Pulsed Current Tungsten Inert Gas) Welding.It was observed during the review that use of flux or fluxes and pulsed current method improve the weld penetration with weld quality.
