The TIG welding troubleshooting book: Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding

Stop guessing and start fixing. This field-tested reference gives you fast, repeatable solutions to the defects that kill productivity—porosity, arc wander, lack of fusion, soot, undercut, contamination, and warped parts. Organized for use at the bench, it walks you through cause → diagnosis → exact corrective action with clear photos, decision trees, and proven settings for aluminum, stainless, mild steel, chromoly, and titanium.

Written by an AWS-certified welding educator with 20+ years in aerospace and fabrication, this guide distills thousands of hours of shop work into practical steps that work on any modern inverter. You get starting parameters by alloy and thickness, rules of thumb to adjust on the fly, and checklists that lock in gas coverage, tungsten geometry, and heat control. Used by fabrication shops, race teams, and training programs, Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding reduces rework, saves consumables, and helps you hit code-quality results faster—whether you’re dialing in 6061 corners, thin-wall 304L tube, or 4130 clusters.

• Diagnose by bead shape, color, and sound; correct within a minute using step-by-step flows.
• Proven baseline settings for amps, AC balance, frequency, and pulse—plus simple adjustment rules.
• Shop-hardened checklists for gas coverage, tungsten prep, filler selection, and torch angle to eliminate instability.
