The Welding reference book for serious TIG results
Looking for a Welding reference book that actually improves your welds? “Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding” distills real shop practice into a focused playbook. You get clear, step-by-step methods for machine setup, torch control, heat input, and filler timing—so you produce cleaner beads, tight heat-affected zones, and consistent penetration across materials. No fluff. Just the parameters, sequences, and quick references you reach for when time and tolerances matter.
Built around code-aligned best practices and proven workflows, this guide covers AC and DC TIG for aluminum, stainless, chromoly, and titanium; gas selection and flow; tungsten prep; joint fit-up; distortion control; and defect prevention. It translates complex metallurgy into practical decisions—amperage windows, pulse choices, travel speed, and interpass management—to cut rework and stabilize quality. Field-ready checklists, concise tables, and troubleshooting trees help you diagnose porosity, contamination, arc wander, and cracking fast, then correct with confidence. Whether you’re tuning a new inverter or tightening procedures on the floor, it serves as a compact, dependable standard for repeatable, inspection-ready results.
- Exact setup tables for machines, tungsten, cups, gas lenses, and flow.
- Repeatable procedures for thin sheet, tube joints, and out-of-position welds.
- Rapid diagnostics for starts, contamination, porosity, and undercut—with precise fixes.
