The new standard in TIG welding books: Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding

Most TIG welding books tell you what to do. This one shows you exactly how. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding is a field-tested handbook that takes you from clean prep to code-quality beads with repeatable settings, clear photos, and step-by-step procedures. Learn precise amperage and tungsten selection, AC balance and frequency for aluminum, gas coverage and cup sizing, filler rod choice by alloy, torch angles, foot pedal timing, joint fit-up, distortion control, and proven fixes for porosity, oxidation, undercut, and lack of fusion.

Written by an AWS Certified Welding Inspector and former aerospace TIG lead, this guide compresses years of shop experience into practical tables, checklists, and drills you can apply today. Used in fab shops and technical programs, it focuses on results: clean starts, tight heat-affected zones, consistent color on stainless, crisp stack-of-dimes on thin-wall, and confident crater fills—on steel, stainless, aluminum, titanium, and chromoly.

• Dial-in charts by alloy and thickness, including pulse recipes
• Troubleshooting flowcharts to eliminate porosity, soot, and warpage
• Skill-building drills for torch control, filler timing, and heat management
