Metal fabrication apparel for TIG welding, backed by real‑world technique

In TIG, your grip, heat feel, and puddle vision live or die by what you wear. The right metal fabrication apparel—gloves with true dexterity, FR sleeves that resist heat without bulk, a lens that shows arc detail—sets the stage. Turning that foundation into clean, repeatable welds takes process, not guesswork. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding distills shop‑proven methods into clear, stepwise routines you can trust.

Built for working fabricators, this guide covers steel, stainless, and aluminum with settings that respect real material behavior, not just textbook ranges. You get practical frameworks for tungsten selection and prep, gas coverage and cup choice, AC balance and frequency, torch angles, filler rhythm, and heat control that keeps colors right and distortion low. It aligns with AWS best practices, includes bench‑side checklists and troubleshooting trees, and reflects feedback from pro shops where uptime matters and rework isn’t an option.

• Fast, reliable setups: amperage starting points, cup sizes, gas flow, and polarity—organized for quick reference.
• Apparel‑smart technique: glove thickness vs pedal finesse, sleeve and hood choices that prevent contamination and improve puddle read.
• Diagnostics that stick: eliminate porosity, sugaring, and warpage with simple decision paths and corrective actions.
