Stainless Tig Weld - TIG Welding Secrets

Nail the Stainless TIG Weld with Repeatable Precision

When stainless overheats, it shows. TIG Welding Secrets maps the exact variables that control a clean stainless tig weld—heat input, gas coverage, purge, filler, and arc length—so you can produce tight beads, consistent color, and sound fusion from thin sheet to schedule pipe.

Inside, you get shop-tested procedures for 304/316 in fillet, butt, and tube joints; tungsten geometry and cup selection by amperage; pulse and travel-speed ranges that minimize warp; fit-up and purging setups that prevent sugaring; and quick diagnostics for undercut, porosity, and lack of fusion. Built by career TIG specialists and validated on production parts, the methods are precise, repeatable, and efficient—reducing rework while raising visual standards that pass scrutiny.

  • Color control: gold-to-straw without post-polish.
  • Distortion control: sequence, chill, and clamp strategy.
  • Purge made simple: flow rates, dams, and argon economy.
