Welding Practice Exercises - Everything You NEED to Know ...
Welding practice exercises that build reliable TIG results
Most practice stalls because it isn’t structured. “Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding” turns time under the hood into repeatable outcomes with targeted welding practice exercises that progress from torch control to complex joints. Built by veteran instructors and verified in busy fab shops, each drill defines setup, arc length, travel cues, and pass/fail criteria—so you know exactly what to do, what to look for, and when to move up.
You’ll work through stainless, mild steel, and aluminum with exercises for flat plate, fillets, tube, and thin-wall. Expect measurable benchmarks (bead width, crown height, etch-and-cut checks), heat input management, and contamination control—plus clear troubleshooting for porosity, undercut, lack of fusion, and tungsten issues. Short, repeatable sessions fit real schedules, build muscle memory, and translate directly to cleaner welds, tighter fit-ups, and fewer reworks. This is the reference experienced welders keep on the bench because it removes guesswork and speeds certification-level quality.
- Progressive drills for arc length discipline, puddle reading, filler timing, and foot control—each with quantified targets.
- Material-specific guidance for stainless, aluminum, and carbon steel, including prep, joint selection, and distortion control.
- Practical workflows: set your machine, verify gas and tungsten, run the exercise, inspect, correct, and lock in the improvement.
