Welding Education - Everything You NEED to Know About TIG...

Welding education that turns theory into flawless TIG welds

TIG is precise, unforgiving—and incredibly rewarding when your process is dialed. “Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding” strips away guesswork with clear, shop-tested guidance that moves beyond generic welding education and into repeatable, bench-ready technique. Built by veteran fabricators and reviewed against industry best practices, it delivers the exact steps, settings, and habits that produce clean, code-conscious results.

You’ll get a complete framework: torch setup and gas coverage, tungsten preparation, joint prep, and material-specific parameters for carbon, stainless, and aluminum. Learn heat control through pedal modulation, filler timing, arc length discipline, and pulse strategies for thin-gauge work. Master AC balance and frequency for aluminum, DCEN for steels, and practical ranges for flow rates and cup selection. Diagnose and eliminate porosity, contamination, undercut, and distortion with a structured troubleshooting tree. The package includes drill progressions, quick-reference settings tables, and inspection checklists—so you build consistent technique, reduce rework, and meet visual and mechanical quality expectations.

  • Setup maps for common alloys/thicknesses: tungsten geometry, gas flow, cup choice, AC balance/frequency, and amperage targets.
  • Repeatable technique: torch angle, travel speed, filler timing, pedal control, back purging, and pulse for thin material.
  • Quality assurance toolkit: defect ID and fixes, fit-up tolerances, practice plans, and documentation to support procedure compliance.
