The TIG welding practice book for precise, repeatable results

If you’re searching for a TIG welding practice book, this is it: Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding condenses years on the bench into a clear, repeatable training system. Built by working TIG instructors, it maps each session—from surface prep to arc starts, puddle control, filler timing, and travel speed—so practice time translates into consistent, inspection-ready beads. Expect plain-language explanations, exact setup windows, and focused drills that build skill without wasting rod or argon.

Rigor sets it apart. Every exercise ties to measurable targets and real inspection criteria. You get WPS-style sheets for steel, stainless, and aluminum; AC/DC parameters; tungsten types and diameters; cup sizes and gas flow ranges; joint-by-joint sequences; and a troubleshooting matrix for porosity, contamination, undercut, distortion, and lack of fusion. Clean diagrams, macro photo references, checklists, and session logs keep your technique honest while tracking heat input and progress. Whether dialing in your first bead or tightening tolerances for high-spec work, this guide makes every minute intentional.

• Progressive drills: flat plate to tube; butt, lap, T, fillet, and outside corner; positions from 1G upward.
• Dialed settings: amperage tables, pulse starting points, filler/tungsten pairing, torch angle, stick-out, and gas coverage.
• Quality and fixes: acceptance cues, quick tests, and fast remedies for the defects you actually see.
