Master basic TIG welding with proven, pro-level fundamentals

Basic TIG welding isn’t guesswork—it’s control. TIG Welding Secrets compresses years of shop-floor experience into a clear, step-by-step system for clean beads, precise heat input, and repeatable results on steel, stainless, and aluminum. Built for beginners and self-taught fabricators, it removes the noise and shows exactly what to do, why it works, and how to verify you did it right.

Expect practical setup and execution: tungsten type and grind geometry, cup and gas lens selection, flow rates, AC balance and pulse, torch angle and arc length, filler timing, and foot pedal modulation. You’ll learn to read the puddle, control distortion, and eliminate porosity, undercut, and contamination—on thin-gauge sheet as confidently as on plate. Field-tested methods from instructors and production welders ensure you adopt habits that scale from hobby projects to inspection-ready work.

• Benchmark drills and amperage quick-reference for common joints and alloys
• Troubleshooting flowcharts for dirty metal, shaky starts, and inconsistent bead profile
• Fit-up and tack strategies that keep gaps tight and heat affected zones minimal
