Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding distills shop-tested techniques into a clear sequence you can follow immediately—no fluff, no guesswork. Set your machine the right way (polarity, AC balance, frequency, amperage, post-flow), select and prep tungsten correctly, match filler to base metal, and prepare joints for clean, repeatable beads.
This guide focuses on fundamentals that matter at the torch: stable torch angle and arc length, controlled travel speed and heat input, foot pedal finesse, and hand positioning. You’ll practice the core joints in steel, stainless, and aluminum, then troubleshoot like a pro with visual cues for porosity, undercut, contamination, and warping. Built around field-proven checklists and aligned with AWS best practices, it’s engineered to reduce rework, protect your tungsten, and deliver consistent penetration and bead profile.
- Dialed-in starting settings by material and thickness for fast, clean results.
- Step-by-step drills that build muscle memory and torch control, fast.
- Clear fixes for common defects—what to adjust and why it works.
