The welding reference manual TIG specialists trust: TIG Welding Secrets

TIG demands precision. TIG Welding Secrets gives you the numbers, sequences, and field‑tested methods that make precision repeatable. Built for the way welders work, it pairs quick‑reference tables with clear setup procedures and troubleshooting flows—so you can lock in stable arc starts, clean fusion lines, and consistent bead geometry without guesswork.

Inside: alloy‑specific amperage ranges by thickness and joint type; tungsten sizes and prep angles; cup and gas lens selection with flow rates; AC balance/frequency guidance for aluminum and magnesium; pulse recipes for thin‑wall control; DC practices for stainless, chromoly, and titanium; purge planning, heat input control, and distortion management. You’ll also find defect diagnostics (porosity, lack of fusion, undercut, tungsten contamination) with root causes and corrective actions, plus visual acceptance cues aligned to common fab standards. Compiled by AWS‑certified welders and veteran TIG instructors with thousands of hours in aerospace, motorsports, and sanitary process work, this manual is concise, practical, and shop‑proven—designed to keep your welds in spec and your rework low.

• Faster setup: dial‑in tables and step‑by‑step checks for stable arcs in minutes.
• Higher quality: bead profile benchmarks and precise fixes for common TIG defects.
• Lower cost: reduced scrap and rework, better gas economy, longer tungsten life.
