Tungsten Setup Guide - TIG Welding Secrets
Tungsten setup guide for predictable, clean TIG welds
When clean starts turn into wander, contamination, and inconsistent bead width, the cause is almost always upstream: tungsten selection and prep. TIG Welding Secrets delivers a tungsten setup guide distilled from pro shops and lab testing, giving you a repeatable framework for electrode type, diameter, grind profile, and gas delivery that aligns with your machine and material. Expect tighter arcs, stable puddles, and fewer restarts—without guesswork or forum folklore.
Built from thousands of controlled welds across aluminum, stainless, and chromoly, with microscope-verified tip wear and heat-affected feedback, this is practical, field-ready guidance. Trusted by fabricators in aerospace, motorsport, and precision manufacturing, it shows how to extend electrode life, cut rework, and protect surface finish while reducing gas waste. If you want reliable, shop-proof decisions—not theory—you’ll find clear decision trees, tolerances, and troubleshooting signals inside TIG Welding Secrets. Gain the confidence to set up once, weld all day, and deliver repeatable, inspection-ready results.
- Choose the right tungsten for alloy and amperage—consistently, no second-guessing.
- Grind geometry that stabilizes arc starts and preserves puddle clarity.
- Shielding and stick-out ranges that minimize contamination and tip erosion.
