The tungsten setup guide book pros trust: TIG Welding Secrets

When bead appearance, penetration, and repeatability matter, tungsten prep is the control point. TIG Welding Secrets is the tungsten setup guide book that strips out guesswork and standardizes your process—electrode type, diameter, grind geometry, stick-out, cup, gas lens, and flow. Built from shop-floor procedures used in precision fabrication, it shows exactly how to stabilize arc starts, tighten heat input, and eliminate porosity and wander, so you spend more time laying clean welds and less time reworking.

Written by veteran TIG specialists and reviewed by certified inspectors, this reference turns variables into settings. You’ll find material-specific guidance for stainless, chromoly, and aluminum; AC balance and frequency baselines; amperage windows by tungsten size; taper length, point profile, and surface finish; pre-flow/post-flow timing; and contamination control that protects weld quality and tool life. Clear diagrams and quick-reference charts make it practical on the bench, while troubleshooting pages help you correct balling on AC, split tips on DCEN, and arc drift caused by poor grind lines. If you want a precise, repeatable TIG routine, this is the tungsten setup guide book your workflow has been missing.

• Select the right tungsten and grind for alloy, polarity, and amperage—fast.
• Set gas flow, cup size, and stick-out for stable coverage and cool toes.
• Diagnose arc wander, contamination, and unstable starts with proven fixes.
