Stainless TIG settings for consistent, clean results

Struggling with heat tint, warping, or sugary roots? Stainless TIG settings shift with grade, thickness, joint, and position. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding distills the variables into clear, repeatable choices so you can produce bright, sanitary, code-ready welds with less guesswork and rework.

Built from thousands of shop-proven passes on 304/316—from thin sheet to tube and plate—this guide translates real-world practice into quick references you’ll actually use. Get thickness-based starting points, practical pulse ranges, gas lens and cup selection, purge and gas flow guidance, and a simple setup workflow that keeps heat input in check. Plus, troubleshooting for color control, porosity, contamination, and distortion—grounded in inspection criteria and production realities.

• Fast-reference stainless tig settings by thickness, joint type, and position.
• Balance penetration and color: manage heat input, purge quality, and travel speed.
• Repeatable setup: tungsten size/type, DCEN parameters, pulse strategy, and QA checks.
