Stainless Steel TIG Welding: precision methods that hold up in production

Stainless steel TIG welding rewards control and punishes guesswork. “Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding” packages the exact, shop-proven methods used by pro fabricators to deliver clean, color-controlled beads with sound penetration and minimal distortion on 304/316—from thin sheet to heavier sections.

Built from real WPS-style procedures and validated on the floor, it gives you parameter ranges that actually work, purge setups that prevent sugar, and practical guidance on filler selection (ER308L/ER316L), tungsten choice (2% lanthanated), pulse strategy, joint prep, and heat input management. The result: repeatable weld quality that passes inspection and reduces rework, consumable waste, and time-on-part.

• Mirror-clean roots with correct purge flow, dams, venting, and backing—no soot, no sugaring.
• Dialed settings by thickness: amperage, travel speed, torch angle, arc length, and pulse for stainless steel TIG welding.
• Fast troubleshooting for porosity, heat tint, distortion, lack of fusion, and chromium carbide sensitization—root causes and fixes.
