Fabrication Techniques - TIG Welding Secrets
Fabrication techniques that make TIG welding predictable and precise
In real shops, “perfect” welds come from process, not luck. TIG Welding Secrets turns complex fabrication techniques into clear, repeatable steps that tighten fit-up, stabilize heat input, and deliver inspection-ready results on thin stainless, aluminum, chromoly, and titanium. Built from thousands of hours at the bench, this field-tested guide shows how pros control distortion, arc stability, and bead profile under production deadlines.
Inside, you’ll find the practical details standard tutorials skip: joint design and prep that reduce porosity at the source, tack strategy for gap control, torch angle and travel cadence that keep the puddle wet without overwashing edges, and filler timing that maintains fusion on corners and fillets. Learn how to tune amperage, AC balance, pulse, and gas coverage for different alloys; when to use chill blocks, purge dams, and heat sinks; and how to build simple fixtures that lock repeatability. Each technique is paired with visual cues, tolerance targets, and QA checks so you can diagnose fast and correct once. If you value clean beads, minimal rework, and consistent metallurgy, TIG Welding Secrets gives you the precise, shop-proven playbook to get there.
- Reduce distortion and rework with smarter sequencing and heat control.
- Achieve consistent bead geometry across joints, thicknesses, and alloys.
- Apply production-ready setups: gas lens selection, tungsten prep, and purge.
