Stainless Steel Tig - TIG Welding Secrets
Stainless Steel TIG Mastery, Without the Guesswork
Stainless steel punishes sloppy heat control. TIG Welding Secrets gives you a precise, shop‑proven method for stainless steel TIG that delivers clean roots, tight color, and code‑ready joints. Built by senior weld engineers and lead fabricators, the guidance reflects real production constraints: thin‑wall tube, sanitary fittings, sheet, and plate. Prevent contamination and distortion while preserving corrosion resistance—without wasted gas or rework.
Inside, we break down GTAW on stainless from setup to finish: tungsten and cup selection (2% lanthanated, gas lens), pulse and amperage windows, purge planning, interpass temperature, and when to choose 308L vs 316L. Get repeatable torch angles, travel speeds, and arc lengths that keep chromium intact and the HAZ pale. Practical checklists and troubleshooting trees turn common problems—sugaring, gray heat tint, undercut—into fast fixes you can trust. TIG Welding Secrets compresses years of trial and error into clear parameter ranges and repeatable procedures for stainless steel TIG.
- Cleaner roots and flatter caps; minimal cleanup.
- Lower gas use and cycle time via optimized purge and parameters.
- QA‑ready results under borescope, shift after shift.
