Stainless tig welding settings that deliver consistent results

When stainless pays the bills, guesswork is expensive. TIG Welding Secrets distills thousands of shop-hours into clear, repeatable stainless tig welding settings for 304/316—from thin sheet to plate—so you hit color, control heat input, and pass inspection on the first arc.

Developed by veteran fabricators and CWI-reviewed, this field-tested playbook gives you the numbers and the why: amps per thickness, pulse ranges that lock in bead profile, gas flow and cup selection for clean shielding, tungsten sizes and tip prep for DCEN stainless, plus fit-up and travel-speed guidelines that tame distortion. Faster setup, fewer reworks, tighter beads.
