TIG Welding Basics for Beginners, Explained by Pros

Most guides skim the surface. TIG Welding Secrets goes deep, translating tig welding basics for beginners into a clear, shop-ready system. Built by a Certified Weld Inspector and former aerospace lead, it reflects thousands of hours training apprentices and solving real production issues.

Master precise heat control, torch angle, filler timing, tungsten prep, and gas coverage—then apply them with dialed-in settings for steel, stainless, and aluminum by thickness. Shop-tested drills build puddle discipline fast, while checklists prevent contamination, porosity, and warping. Expect cleaner stainless, tighter beads, less rework, and repeatable results.

• Step-by-step setup: power, polarity, cups, gas flow, and joint fit-up that actually matters.
• Tungsten and cup selection/sharpening cheatsheet for common alloys and amp ranges.
• Reliable arc starts, crater fills, and troubleshooting cues to correct issues quickly.
