you will need roughly 30-40 amps per 1 mm. possibly a bit less.

2% thor, cer, or lanth tungsten about same dia as your base metal 1.5mm sharpened to a point.

the rest is up to you and your skill. if you are new to tig, you will need to practice on some scrap or you might turn your project into scrap.
