TIG Welding Stainless Steel Like a Pro

Understanding the Basics of TIG Welding Stainless Steel

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), is renowned for producing strong, precise welds on stainless steel. Unlike other welding processes, TIG welding employs a non-consumable tungsten electrode to deliver the current to the welding arc while a shielding gas protects the weld area from contamination. Mastering this technique requires understanding how to manipulate the heat and filler material to achieve a clean, high-quality weld.
