TIG Welding Techniques for Beginners — Build Clean, Repeatable Beads

TIG welding techniques for beginners can feel slow and unforgiving. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding turns the learning curve into a clear, step-by-step path. Built with input from AWS-certified instructors and pro fabricators, it delivers the exact fundamentals that matter on the bench: machine setup, tungsten prep, torch control, filler timing, and heat management—without the noise.

Inside, you’ll get baseline settings for steel, stainless, and aluminum; AC/DC fundamentals; gas lens and cup selection; electrode geometry; foot pedal modulation; and simple drills that develop puddle awareness fast. High-resolution photos, diagrams, and troubleshooting flowcharts shorten practice time and prevent costly bad habits. The result: cleaner starts, tighter arcs, fewer inclusions, and consistent welds you can be proud of.

  • Proven setup checklists and filler rod charts that eliminate guesswork in minutes.
  • Precise torch angles, arc length, and travel speeds for flat, fillet, and outside corner joints.
  • A repeatable routine to spot and correct porosity, undercut, and contamination before they spread.
