Tig Stainless Steel Settings - TIG Welding Secrets
Master tig stainless steel settings for clean, repeatable results
Stainless is unforgiving: too hot and you get heat tint and warpage; too cold and you risk lack of fusion. Joint geometry, thickness, and fit-up shift the sweet spot every time. TIG Welding Secrets distills practical tig stainless steel settings into clear, repeatable numbers you can trust—proven in production, not theory.
Inside: DCEN baselines; amperage windows by gauge and joint; gas type/flow and cup size; pulse for thin wall; tungsten/filler pairing; and travel-speed cues. Quick-reference tables cover 304/316 sheet, plate, and sanitary tubing so you can lay bright, contamination-free beads with minimal rework.
- Shop-tested settings for 0.035–1/4 in in butt, fillet, lap, and tube joints.
- Purge and shielding methods that prevent sugaring and heat tint while conserving argon.
- Fast troubleshooting for undercut, porosity, and distortion to keep parts in spec.
