TIG tips and tricks for cleaner, stronger, repeatable welds

Clean beads and tight heat control don’t come from guesswork. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding distills shop-tested TIG tips and tricks into a practical system you can apply today—no fluff, just the exact setups, motions, and checks that produce code‑worthy results.

Built by veteran TIG instructors and reviewed against AWS best practices, this guide covers the variables that matter: amperage and AC balance, tungsten type and prep, cup size and gas flow, torch angle, arc length, and filler timing. Get heat‑management frameworks for aluminum and stainless, troubleshooting flowcharts to stop porosity and contamination, and repeatable procedures for starts, stops, and crater fill. Expect fewer reworks, less wasted consumables, and a steadier hand on every joint.

• Dial in fast: proven baseline settings and pulse parameters that actually help.
• Technique that sticks: foot‑pedal control, filler rhythm, and walk‑the‑cup clarity.
• Shop fixes that work: surface prep, gas coverage, post‑flow, and joint fit‑up.
