Welding Certification Study Guide TIG — Proven Prep for GTAW Exams

TIG Welding Secrets is the welding certification study guide TIG candidates use to convert shop skill into test-day results. Built by a CWI and former aerospace welding engineer with 20+ years on the hood, it distills code expectations and practical technique into clear, repeatable steps—so your plates and pipe meet criteria the first time. From joint fit-up to final bead, you get exam-focused direction, not fluff.

Inside, you’ll find code-aligned guidance for AWS/ASME TIG tests (D1.1, D17.1, Section IX): interpreting WPS/PQR, heat control, and acceptance limits—plus exact setup recipes that remove guesswork. Learn how to select tungsten (e.g., 2% lanthanated), cup size and gas flow for alloys and thicknesses, manage arc length and travel speed, and purge stainless/tube to avoid sugar. Visual discontinuity ID (porosity, LOF, tungsten inclusions), troubleshooting matrices, and test-day checklists mirror how CWIs evaluate coupons. Trusted by fabricators, aerospace shops, and apprenticeship programs, TIG Welding Secrets makes your prep efficient, measurable, and exam-ready.

  • Position-by-position procedures (1G–6G) with parameter ranges that pass.
  • Alloy-specific amps, filler, polarity, and gas coverage charts for steel, stainless, and aluminum.
  • Acceptance criteria cheat-sheets and self-grading rubrics to verify readiness.
