From a tig welder coffee mug to code‑quality TIG — TIG Welding Secrets

If a tig welder coffee mug sits on your bench, you value precision. TIG Welding Secrets turns that mindset into repeatable, shop‑ready results. Built for welders who want cleaner beads, tighter heat control, and fewer reworks, this field‑tested guide distills torch angle, filler timing, gas coverage, and amperage discipline into clear, actionable steps. Expect faster setup, predictable arc starts, and consistent appearance—on stainless, aluminum, chromoly, and titanium—without guesswork or wasted consumables.

Developed from thousands of hours under the hood and code‑level procedures, TIG Welding Secrets gives you practical sequences, not theory dumps. You’ll get fixture and fit‑up priorities, cup and gas lens selection by job, purge strategies, AC balance and frequency for aluminum, pulse parameters for thin stock, and proven ways to eliminate porosity, warping, and tungsten contamination. Each chapter includes concise checklists, amperage ranges, and troubleshooting cues so you can diagnose, adjust, and get back to welding with confidence.

• Control heat and color on stainless—no sugar, minimal distortion, consistent HAZ.
• Lock in aluminum starts and ripple—smart AC settings, preheat, and travel speed.
• Run a repeatable system—fit‑up, tack sequence, torch angle, filler size, and gas flow.
