The invention provides a TIG girth welding device and a TIG girth welding process for the bottom of a storage tank, and relates to the technical field of TIG girth welding. The TIG girth welding device comprises a girth welding mold, a positioner and a milling and welding gantry. The girth welding mold comprises a welding mold, a pressing device and a top cover pressing ring. The welding mold comprises a base, a lifting ring, a supporting device, a mandrel lifting device and a connecting cylinder. The TIG girth welding process sequentially comprises the following steps that S1, a fork-shaped ring is clamped; S2, a circular ring is clamped; S3, edge milling is conducted; S4, welding is performed; S5, the pressing device is locked; S6, edge milling is conducted; S7, a top cover is clamped; S8, edge milling is conducted; S9, welding is performed; and S10, form removal and part taking are carried out. According to the TIG girth welding device and the TIG girth welding process for the bottom of the storage tank, servo driving of a motion unit is achieved, pressing is realized pneumatically, the welding device can be adapted to changes of the thickness of the bottom wall of the storage tank, after a workpiece is pressed on the welding mold, a milling head mills out allowance and a welding groove, the motion trail during milling is consistent with the motion trail during welding, andthe quality of welding butt joints is guaranteed; and the high-precision welding requirement of the product is effectively ensured.
