Weld Shop Apparel Is Only Half the Equation—Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding

In a real shop, protection and performance go together. Your weld shop apparel shields you from heat and spatter; your knowledge determines whether the part passes, the rework pile shrinks, and the schedule holds. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding is a field-tested reference that translates expert technique into precise, repeatable steps you can trust on stainless, carbon, and aluminum.

Built by veteran TIG specialists, this guide removes guesswork with clear parameters, fixtures, and inspection cues. Dial in arc starts, puddle control, and filler rhythm. Set AC balance and frequency for 5xxx/6xxx aluminum, pick tungsten diameter and grind correctly, choose cups and gas lenses for coverage, and run purge setups that prevent sugar. Control distortion with heat input, sequencing, and clamping strategies. Troubleshoot porosity, undercut, contamination, and lack of fusion with cause-and-correction flowcharts—so your welds look clean and test clean. If you care about the details of your weld shop apparel, this is the same no-compromise approach for your TIG results.

• Material/thickness parameter windows, pulse ratios, and gas flow benchmarks that work on the floor—not just on paper.
• Fixturing, joint prep, and cleanliness standards that reduce rework and keep consistency part to part.
• Visual acceptance criteria and quick checks aligned with pro shop expectations for reliable, inspectable beads.
