Tungsten Inert Gas. Basically they flood the weld area with an inert gas to
deprive the molten metal being welded of oxygen. This prevents oxidisation
of the weld and all the associated weakening. The Tungsten is simply the
electrode material. There may be a better explanation than this though, I'm
not expert.
