Welding secrets for flawless TIG results

There’s no mystery behind consistent, stack-of-dimes beads—only repeatable process. TIG Welding Secrets codifies the welding secrets top shops rely on: clean prep, precise heat control, and disciplined torch work that eliminates pinholes, sugaring, and distortion.

Developed by a CWI-led team with aerospace and motorsports experience, this field-tested guide distills 20+ years of shop data into concise checklists, parameter windows, and visual cues. Fabricators report cleaner beads, tighter fit-ups, and fewer reworks across stainless, aluminum, chromoly, and thin-wall tube.

• Exact amperage ranges, travel speeds, torch angles, and filler sizes for common joints and alloys.
• Purging, gas lens and cup selection, tungsten geometry, and contamination control for mirror-clean roots.
• Heat management strategies, fixture setups, and sequence planning to prevent warping and color drift.
