  3. Material Versatility: TIG welding is ideal for thin materials and non-ferrous metals like aluminum, commonly used in trailers.
  4. Aesthetic Appearance: TIG welding produces neat, spatter-free welds, important for the visual appeal of trailers.
  5. Heat Control: Better heat control in TIG welding reduces the risk of warping, crucial for maintaining the shape and strength of trailer components.
