Basic Tig Welding - Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding

Basic TIG Welding, Done Right from Day One

"Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding" turns basic tig welding from guesswork into a controlled, repeatable process. Practical, field-tested instruction shows you how to set up your machine, prep joints, choose tungsten and filler, and dial AC/DC parameters for clean, consistent beads—without wasting gas, cups, or hours.

Written by senior welders and instructors with 20+ years in fabrication, motorsports, and aerospace, it distills proven shop standards into clear steps. Expect real defect photos, troubleshooting trees, and code-conscious techniques that work on mild steel, stainless, and aluminum, from thin sheet to plate. If you’re new or self-taught, this is the fastest path to precision and confidence at the torch.

  • Exact starting points: electrode sizes, amperage, gas flow, AC balance, and pulse settings.
  • Blueprints for puddle control, heat management, and distortion prevention on thin material.
  • Quick fixes for tungsten contamination, porosity, undercut, sugaring, and crater cracks.
