The TIG welding techniques book for clean, precise results—without guesswork

Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding is a practical, field-tested manual written by certified welders and welding engineers. If you’ve been searching for a TIG welding techniques book that translates standards into shop-ready moves, this is it. You’ll get exact, repeatable setups for steel, stainless, aluminum, and titanium—torch angles, arc length, filler control, and body positioning—plus parameter baselines by thickness, cup size and gas lens selection, gas flow, tungsten type and prep (2% lanthanated, ceriated), AC balance/frequency, and pulse schedules. Joint prep, fit-up, heat input, distortion control, back purging, and color management are covered step by step so your welds pass inspection, not just the eye test.

Built around AWS best practices and thousands of hours under the hood, the book includes quick-reference tables, troubleshooting trees (porosity, contamination, undercut, arc wander), and proven techniques for walking the cup, freehanding, outside corners, fillets, and autogenous fusion. Learn how to choose ER70S-2, ER308L, ER4043, and more with confidence; set travel speed and filler cadence for consistent wet-in; and dial parameters that hold in 1G through 6G. Clear illustrations, checklists, and “first-bead” procedures eliminate trial-and-error—so you spend less on consumables and more time producing reliable, repeatable welds.

• Dial in fast: accurate starting points and adjustments that actually translate to the arc.
• Master more materials and positions with predictable bead shape and penetration.
• Solve problems at the source and keep quality stable from part to part.
