Stainless Steel TIG Welding Guide for Clean, Repeatable Results

Stainless punishes guesswork. TIG Welding Secrets is the stainless steel TIG welding guide built for welders who need consistent, food‑grade color, zero sugaring, and minimal distortion on 304/316—from thin sheet to schedule pipe. Written by certified welding inspectors and shop‑tested across sanitary, aerospace, and marine work, it delivers precise, repeatable procedures instead of vague tips.

Inside you’ll find dial‑in amperage, pulse, and travel‑speed charts by thickness; tungsten selection (2% lanthanated), cup and gas lens picks; argon flow and back‑purge setups that stop inside oxidation; and filler matching for 308L/316L. Master torch angle and filler timing for flat, vertical, and overhead positions. Use fit‑up, edge prep, and cleaning checklists to lock in quality at the start, and apply interpass temperature limits and post‑weld passivation practices to preserve corrosion resistance. A fast troubleshooting matrix helps you eliminate porosity, carbide precipitation, heat tint, and wandering arc issues—cutting rework, polish time, and scrap while boosting inspection pass rates.

• Ready settings by gauge and joint type—set once, weld right.
• Cleaner welds—proven back‑purge, trailing shield, and gas coverage methods.
• Flatter, straighter parts—distortion control with sequencing, chill bars, and tack strategy.
