TIG welding book for beginners that delivers clean, repeatable results

Stop guessing at settings and chasing inconsistent welds. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding is the practical, no‑fluff TIG welding book for beginners that compresses the learning curve. Written by a certified TIG instructor and veteran fabricator, it turns complex theory into clear, step‑by‑step guidance you can apply the moment you strike an arc.

Inside, you’ll demystify machine setup (AC/DC, amperage control, AC balance, frequency, gas flow), nail tungsten selection and prep, and match filler metals, cups, and gas lenses to the job. Learn torch angle, arc length, foot pedal control, and heat management through a proven sequence of drills—then apply them to mild steel, stainless, and aluminum across butt, fillet, lap, and outside‑corner joints from thin sheet to tubing. Quick‑reference charts and setup checklists speed your first pass; annotated photos and a troubleshooting matrix help you eliminate porosity, undercut, lack of fusion, and warping. Built on shop‑tested workflows and industry standards, this field guide gives you a reliable path from first bead to structurally sound, visually clean welds.

• Material/thickness settings tables for fast, confident setup
• Progressive drills and real projects that build muscle memory
• Defect photos with causes and fixes for rapid troubleshooting
