The Welding Fabrication Book: TIG Welding Secrets for Repeatable, Production-Ready Results
TIG Welding Secrets is the welding fabrication book built for fabricators who need clean, strong, repeatable welds under real deadlines. Written by a veteran TIG instructor and shop lead, it turns advanced technique into precise, step-by-step procedures you can trust on stainless, aluminum, and chromoly. If you’ve been guessing at heat input, chasing distortion, or reworking porosity, this is the playbook that removes uncertainty.
Inside you’ll get proven settings and sequences: amperage windows by material and thickness, tungsten selection and prep, shielding gas flow and cup choice, torch angles and travel speed; plus joint prep checklists, fit-up and fixturing strategies, distortion control, and visual acceptance criteria. Field-tested drills build muscle memory; troubleshooting matrices map defect to root cause; WPS-style setup cards make results consistent across shifts. Clear photos and cutaway diagrams show exactly what "right" looks like, from razor-thin sheet to heavy section.
No theory for theory’s sake—every page ties to measurable outcomes: flatter caps, tighter fit, cleaner roots, lower heat input, and predictable penetration. Whether you’re dialing in a new inverter or standardizing a small team, this reference compresses years of trial-and-error into a reliable system you can apply on the next job.
- Cleaner beads with minimal heat-affected zone and no guesswork.
- Faster throughput and less rework through disciplined prep and sequencing.
- Confidence for code tests and customer audits with documented, repeatable methods.
