·  The video shows the welding of a high performance bicycle frame using the tungsten-inert-gas (TIG) welding technique. The tungsten electrode does not melt and become incorporated in the weld. The heat melts the tubes locally and the inert gas (argon or helium) minimizes the incorporation of oxygen, nitrogen, or hydrogen in the weld.
