ING-TIG16058 Inverter TIG/MMA welding machine

The INGCO ING-TIG16058 is a single-phase inverter DC TIG (argon) welder that also works as a stick (MMA) welder. TIG gives clean, precise, spatter-free welds — the choice for stainless steel and thin material — while MMA mode handles general steelwork with 1.6–4.0 mm electrodes.

What it is good for

• Stainless steel: kitchen and food equipment, handrails, tanks and fittings
• Thin steel and stainless sheet, tube and pipe where a neat finish matters
• Copper and brass parts
• General steel fabrication and repair in MMA (stick) mode
• Not for aluminium — aluminium needs an AC TIG machine

Key specifications

• TIG output current: 15–160 A
• MMA output current: 15–160 A
• Duty cycle: 40%
• No-load voltage (TIG / MMA): 85 V / 85 V
• MMA electrode diameter: 1.6–4.0 mm
• Tungsten electrode: Ø1.6 / Ø2.4 mm
• Input: single-phase 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz

Duty cycle in practice

Duty cycle 40%: measured over a 10-minute period, this means about 4 minutes of welding at its rated output, followed by about 6 minutes of cooling. At lower currents the machine can weld for longer. Staying within the duty cycle protects the machine and extends its life.

Power supply

Runs on a normal single-phase 220–240 V supply. Low or unstable mains voltage reduces the welding current available; if you use a generator, choose one with enough capacity and automatic voltage regulation (AVR).

Features

• Inverter technology — lighter and more energy-efficient than a traditional transformer welder
• Pulse function — alternates between high and low current to control heat: less distortion and burn-through on thin sheet and stainless steel
• Spot function — short, timed welds for tacking and spot-joining thin sheet
• LCD display

In the box (per INGCO)

• Electrode holder with cable
• Earth clamp with cable
• Wire brush
• Welding helmet
• TIG torch

You will also need

• Argon gas cylinder and regulator (for TIG)
• Tungsten electrodes and TIG filler rods
• Welding electrodes
• Welding gloves and protective clothing

Always weld with a proper welding helmet, gloves and protective clothing, in a well-ventilated area.
