IG welding guide for pros: Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding

This IG welding guide distills years at the bench into clear, repeatable steps for precise GTAW results. From power source selection and polarity to cup size, gas flow, tungsten prep, and amperage control, it translates theory into settings that work in real metal. Built around AWS terminology and real shop procedure sheets, it shows you how to hold arc length, manage heat input, and run cleaner beads on aluminum, stainless, chromoly, and titanium—without guesswork.

Inside, you’ll find proven start points for common alloys and thicknesses, pulse strategies that tighten profiles without undercut, and troubleshooting that eliminates porosity, sugaring, arc wander, and contamination at the root. Learn pedal finesse, walking the cup on pipe and plate, joint prep that protects fit-up, and distortion control that keeps parts within tolerance. Every page is practical, field-tested, and focused on delivering stronger welds, less rework, and consistent inspection-ready finishes.

• Dial-in fast: setup checklists, tungsten/filler pairings, and parameter tables for 6061, 304/316, 4130, and Ti.
• Control the puddle: AC balance/frequency, pulse tuning, torch angles, and travel speeds that hold profile.
• Work like a pro: defect ID charts, color indicators, WPS-style templates, and techniques that pass scrutiny.
