How to tig weld stainless steel with clean, repeatable results

If you tig weld stainless steel, precision is everything: heat input, gas coverage, filler choice, and travel speed must work together. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding distills shop-proven methods into a clear system so you can produce tight, bright beads without warping, sugaring, or discoloration.

Built by veteran TIG practitioners and tested on real jobs, this guide gives you the exact setups for stainless—DCEN parameters, cup sizes and gas lenses, purge and back-purge techniques, and practical fit-up tips—plus fast troubleshooting when things go sideways. No fluff, just the right dials to turn so stainless behaves predictably on thin sheet, tube, and plate.

• Dial-in charts for common stainless gauges, pulse settings, and 308L/316L filler selection.
• Step-by-step heat control to prevent distortion and rainbow tint, with post-weld cleanup that lasts.
• Consistent torch angles, arc length, and purge setups that make sanitary welds repeatable.
