Stainless Steel Tig Settings - TIG Welding Secrets

Stainless Steel TIG Settings, Made Predictable and Precise

When stainless goes gray, warps, or sugars, the culprit is usually inconsistent stainless steel TIG settings. TIG Welding Secrets translates alloy, thickness, and joint design into clear parameters you can trust—amperage windows, pulse pairs, tungsten size and grind, shielding gas flow and cup, filler choice, and travel pace—so you can hit color, control heat, and repeat results from thin sheet to schedule pipe.

Developed by veteran TIG welders and instructors, this field-tested guide includes quick-reference charts for 304/316, position-specific setups, purge and trailing shield best practices, and proven techniques for low heat input without undercut. Expect cleaner beads, tighter HAZ, and fewer reworks. If you want stainless steel TIG settings you can set once and run with confidence, TIG Welding Secrets delivers the framework and the fine details.

  • Dial-in fast: settings matrices by thickness, joint, and position.
  • Keep the chrome: color control via pulse, shielding, and prep.
  • Fix issues fast: sugar, porosity, and contamination troubleshooting.
