Stainless steel TIG settings for clean, controlled results

Stainless punishes guesswork. The fastest way to stop warping, sugaring, and heat tint is using stainless steel tig settings you can trust. "Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding" delivers shop-proven starting points and adjustment rules so you meet spec the first time—without wasting coupons.

Built by certified TIG instructors and CWI-reviewed, this guide turns real practice into precise numbers: DCEN, 100% argon at 10–20 CFH, amp-per-thousandth baseline tuned for stainless, pulse 1–2 Hz with 20–40% background for heat control, #8 gas lens cup, 2% lanthanated 1/16–3/32 tungsten, and filler matches (ER308L/ER316L). It also covers back-purge targets for tubing, interpass temperature limits, and fast fixes for porosity or arc wander—so your stainless joints pass inspection and look professional.

• Thickness-specific charts for fillet, lap, and butt joints by position.
• Quick calculators: material gauge to amperage, travel speed, and pulse.
• Troubleshooting cues: what to change when edges burn or coverage streaks.
