TIG Welding 101 for Beginners: Build Precision from Day One

If you’re new to TIG, consistency beats guesswork. TIG Welding Secrets distills 15+ years of aerospace GTAW into a clear, field-tested path—ideal for TIG welding 101 for beginners. Skip forum noise and random tips; follow proven setups that make clean, repeatable beads the norm.

Inside you’ll find exact starting parameters for mild steel, stainless, and aluminum; tungsten selection and prep; gas flow and cup choices; torch angle, travel speed, and puddle control; plus troubleshooting matrices for porosity, contamination, and warpage. Built by an AWS-certified instructor, it includes checklists, practice drills, and parameter tables so you can dial in DCEN for steel and AC balance for aluminum with confidence—saving time, filler, and frustration.

• Dialed-in baselines: amperage, gas lens/cup, and tungsten sizes by thickness (0.8–6 mm).
• Clean metal, clean welds: prep protocol that stops black soot and sugar before it starts.
• Repeatability: simple routines for foot pedal modulation and filler timing that stick.
