Tig Settings For Stainless - TIG Welding Secrets

TIG settings for stainless: proven parameters for clean, repeatable welds

When stainless turns gray, warped, or sugar-crusted, settings—not skill—are often the culprit. TIG Welding Secrets delivers field-tested TIG settings for stainless that remove guesswork and lock in repeatability. Distilled from thousands of hours on 304/316 plate, tube, and thin-gauge, it translates best-practice parameters—DCEN, 100% argon, gas lens discipline—into clear, repeatable setups. Expect a stable arc, tight HAZ, and straw-to-silver color control without chasing knobs.

Inside you’ll find thickness-based amperage ranges, tungsten and filler pairings, and pulse templates that actually hold puddle temperature: peak/base amps, frequency, and background ratios for corners, laps, and autogenous seams. You’ll get back-purge flows for sanitary tube, start current and slope-down baselines, and WPS-style setup sheets for the bench. Authored by certified pros and validated in production, TIG Welding Secrets helps standardize quality, speed qualification, and cut rework.

  • Quick charts: 0.5–6 mm stainless—amps, tungsten size, and travel-speed windows.
  • Gas/pulse tables: 15–25 CFH argon, 0.8–2 Hz or high-frequency presets, 30–45% background.
  • Troubleshooting: color/tint control, warp mitigation, and anti-sugaring prep and purge checks.
