The TIG Welding Book Pros Trust: TIG Welding Secrets

TIG looks simple—until inconsistency, warpage, and contamination cost time and parts. TIG Welding Secrets is the tig welding book built for working fabricators who need repeatable, clean results. Written by a veteran instructor and shop lead, it distills proven processes for stainless, aluminum, and chromoly into clear, step-by-step methods you can apply on day one.

Inside: exact machine setup for modern inverters, tungsten selection and prep, gas coverage and cup sizing, torch angle and travel speed, foot pedal and pulse control for thin material, filler choice by alloy, and distortion control with proper fit-up and sequencing. You get field-tested troubleshooting for porosity, inclusions, undercut, arc wander, and color control—plus practical checklists that reduce rework. No fluff—just parameters, procedures, and decision trees that produce consistent, inspection-ready beads.

• Quick-reference amperage and pulse charts by thickness and alloy.
• Fixture, tack, and sequencing tactics to keep parts straight.
• Defect ID guide: what you see, why it happens, how to fix it.
