Mark,

Plasma welding is similar to TIG, except for the torch and the use of 2 chamber in the torch & 2 shielding gases.

"Developed by Lockheed Martin, for the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, the Ternary Gas Plasma Welding Torch provides a faster, more efficient means of joining thicker materials with relatively low heat inputs. In addition, due to the patented design, there is less dependency on the technician's skills to achieve quality results.

The increase in performance that the Ternary Gas Plasma Welding Torch achieves is attributed to a secondary inert gas acting in conjunction with the primary inert gas to provide a substantially "stiffer" arc from the electrode of the torch than a typical single inert gas provides."

More on the torch design linked below.

Patrick
