Aluminum TIG welding done right, from setup to final pass

Aluminum TIG welding punishes guesswork. Oxide skin, rapid heat flow, and tight windows for travel speed make consistency tough—unless you follow a proven method. “Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding” breaks aluminum TIG into clear, repeatable steps you can trust, from machine setup to defect-free finishes. No hype—just the exact parameters, sequences, and checks that eliminate porosity, warping, and soft, sagging beads.

You’ll get practical guidance for real parts: AC balance and frequency selection, 4043 vs 5356 filler decisions, tungsten type and diameter, gas lens and cup sizing, and prep that stops contamination before it starts. The guide translates metallurgy into shop actions—managing heat on 6061, protecting the HAZ, controlling crater cracks, and recovering cast aluminum—with starting amps by thickness and joint, plus troubleshooting trees that keep you moving. Built from production workflows and bench-tested procedures, it favors brand-agnostic settings, tight process control, and clean, readable visuals so you can dial in fast and weld with confidence.

• Dial-in sheets for aluminum TIG welding: amps, AC balance/frequency, filler, and travel speed by thickness.
• Step-by-step prep, fit-up, and gas coverage workflows that cut soot and porosity at the source.
• QA checklists and acceptance cues for consistent, code-conscious results in fab and repair.
