That is very interesting! So Linde bought the patent:laughing:. Can't tell you how many times over the years I've read where Linde invented the process. I'm sure I've even read it in welding books. Goes to show you, don't always believe what you read, wait a minute! Am I believing what was printed in your link? :laughing:

Shield arc I am not trying to pick a fight with you in any way, I am just sharing information that I have found. I would like to give credit where credit is due.
What I posted was not to offend you in any way. Here is another comical link that they claim was researched. You should get a few laughs out of this also.
Who invented tig welding? | Answerbag
I found another link, It's 125 years of Linde
http://www.the-linde-group.com/en/images/chronicle_e[1]14-9855.pdf
On page 46 I found the only reference to electric welding
During the war, Ellira (Elektro-Linde-Rapidschwei゚ung), the
electric welding systems department established in H?lriegelskreuth in 1937, worked almost exclusively on supplying welding
equipment for the arms industry.
On page 86 and 87 they have milestones of Linde From 1879 to 2004, they never mentioned their invention of the Tig welding process. They either forgot to put it on the list or it was such an insignificant invention it was not worth mentioning.
I will look some more and see if I can find somewhere where Linde claims they invented the process.
Can anybody else on here help me out?
