An edge bead is sometimes used to restore dimensions to a part that has worn or was mis machined.

Sometimes multiple beads are needed to achieve final dimensions 

Edge beads typically take a lot less amperage than any other weld...often only about 20-50% of what it would take for a fillet weld on same thickness ( depending on metal type)

TIPS: KEEP A TIGHT ARC 

Aim for an arc length that is equal or less than the diameter of your tungsten electrode.

Torch angle can be forgiving provided your arc length is tight.Keep the hot tip of the filler wire shielded by the argon envelope from the tig cupSnip oxidized tip of filler metal before a restart
