The TIG welding instructional book for precise, repeatable results

Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding is the TIG welding instructional book built for welders who want clean beads, tight heat control, and code-ready quality. It distills proven shop practices into step-by-step sequences—from machine setup to advanced technique—so you can tune arc starts, stabilize the puddle, and eliminate contamination with confidence. Get exact parameter windows for aluminum, stainless, chromoly, and titanium; correct tungsten geometry and cup selection; gas flow and coverage; filler classification; joint prep; and the practical details that actually move the needle: torch angle, arc length, travel speed, and consistent crater fill.

Written by an AWS-certified instructor with extensive field and fabrication experience, this reference pairs clear explanations with process photos, annotated diagrams, and quick-check tables you’ll use every session. You’ll learn how to select AC balance and frequency, manage heat input and distortion, leverage pulse for thin sections, read weld color, and troubleshoot porosity, undercut, lack of fusion, and sugaring—fast. The result is a disciplined, repeatable method that shortens your learning curve and elevates weld quality whether you’re building precision fixtures, food-grade stainless, or lightweight aluminum assemblies.

• Set up and dial in any inverter: baseline amps, polarity, cup size, gas flow, and tungsten for each alloy/thickness.
• Master control: pedal modulation, filler timing, torch manipulation, pulse tuning, and heat management to avoid distortion.
• Work to spec: inspection criteria, common defects and fixes, weld symbols, test plate prep, and documentation readiness.
