Learn to TIG weld stainless—clean, flat, and corrosion-safe

When you tig weld stainless, heat control, shielding, and prep make or break the joint. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding distills shop-proven procedures so you stop chasing heat tint, sugar, and warp and start laying consistent, code-worthy beads on 304/316 from thin sheet to schedule pipe.

Built by career TIG welders and CWIs, this guide gives you exact setups—and why they work: torch angles that protect the puddle, gas lens and cup sizes that stabilize coverage, backpurge methods that prevent chromium burn-out, and filler selection (308L/309L/316L) that preserves corrosion resistance. Get practical tables for amperage, pulse, and travel by thickness; joint prep and fit-up checklists; and troubleshooting that links defect to root cause in seconds.

• Heat input control made simple: balance amps, pulse, and travel to avoid distortion.
• Shielding done right: argon flow, trailing, and purge volumes for bright, oxide-free roots.
• Repeatable results: WPS-style steps you can hand to an apprentice or run in production.
