Tig welding stainless settings made simple—and repeatable

Stop guessing at tig welding stainless settings and start laying down clean, consistent beads. Built from shop-proven procedures, Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding gives you precise, repeatable parameters that cut heat tint, distortion, and rework—whether you’re on thin sheet, tube, or heavy plate.

Inside, you’ll get practical, field-tested baselines for stainless: DCEN polarity, tungsten selection (2% lanthanated, correct diameters), amperage by thickness, pulse recipes (Hz, peak/base amps, duty), gas flow ranges, cup sizes and gas lens setup, ER308L/ER316L filler pairing, back purging and trailing shield techniques, plus torch angle, arc length, and travel speed guidelines. You’ll also learn how to control heat input for color-critical work and how to fix sugar, porosity, undercut, and warping fast.

• Clear charts by alloy, thickness, and joint type with starting settings that actually hold up in production.
• Quick-troubleshoot index: symptom → root cause → exact setting and technique correction.
• Quality checklist for stainless TIG: purge verification, color targets, and bead profile cues.
