Metal Fabrication Apparel - TIG Welding Secrets
Metal fabrication apparel is only half the job—TIG Welding Secrets delivers the rest
Pros invest in metal fabrication apparel for protection and endurance; precision comes from repeatable technique. TIG Welding Secrets is the practical field guide that upgrades your puddle control, heat input, and filler timing so your gear supports cleaner beads, minimal rework, and stronger joints in stainless, chromoly, and aluminum.
Built from thousands of shop hours and code-qualified procedures, this handbook distills what top fabricators use daily: torch angles that hold arc focus, tungsten prep that prevents wander, gas lens and cup sizing that stabilizes shielding, and purge strategies that stop sugaring. You’ll get step-by-step setups for bench work and out‑of‑position, with amperage ranges, pulse logic, and travel-speed cues you can apply immediately—whether you’re fitting roll cages, intercooler piping, or sanitary tube. Expect fewer consumables wasted, consistent color, and tight fit-ups that close on the first arc. If you demand the same rigor from your technique as you do from your metal fabrication apparel, this is the upgrade.
- 30-minute drills that sharpen torch control, filler dips, and arc starts without warping thin stock.
- Troubleshooting matrix for porosity, undercut, contamination, arc wander, and heat-affected distortion.
- Dial-in templates: DC pulse for thin stainless, AC frequency/balance for aluminum, gas flow and cup selection by joint type.
