TIG welder tips the pros rely on for clean, consistent beads

Serious work demands more than generic TIG welder tips. Drawing on decades of code-level fabrication and instructor-led training, we distilled what actually moves the needle on bead quality, joint strength, and repeatability. The result is field-proven, shop-floor practical guidance that cuts rework and tightens your process.

Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding turns scattered advice into a coherent system: prep and fit-up that prevent contamination, tungsten selection and grind geometry that stabilize the arc, gas coverage and cup sizing that stop porosity, torch angle and filler rhythm that refine profile, plus heat control strategies (pulse, AC balance, ramp-in/out) for stainless, chromoly, and aluminum. You get step-by-step workflows, starting settings that land you in the window fast, and troubleshooting trees that get you back on arc when things drift—on any modern inverter or transformer machine.

• Proven starting points for common joints and alloys, with amperage and gas flow ranges.
• Visual defect ID and fixes for arc wander, undercut, porosity, and discoloration.
• Consumables and maintenance practices that extend torch life and reduce gas waste.
