How to TIG Weld Stainless Steel the Right Way

Looking up how to tig weld stainless steel? Clean prep, tight arc length, and controlled heat input are non‑negotiable. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding turns that into stainless‑specific settings, sequences, and checklists you can trust—built from thousands of hours in code shops and procedure qualifications. You’ll see exactly how DCEN, gas coverage, filler chemistry, and travel speed drive bead color, corrosion resistance, and distortion control—so your work passes inspection.

From thin 304 sheet to 316 pipe, you get precise starting points and troubleshooting that remove guesswork: pulse ranges for heat management, purge plans for sugar‑free roots, and practical torch angles that keep the puddle clean. Expect repeatable, professional results—bright beads, tight HAZ, and joints that stay stainless in service.

  • Fast setup: tungsten choice and prep, cup/gas lens, flow rates.
  • Filler made simple: 308L, 316L, 309L—when and why to use.
  • Proven controls: amperage, ramp‑in/out, interpass temps, color targets.
