Welding Stainless Steel TIG: Field-Proven Techniques for Clean, Strong Joints

When the spec calls for pristine, corrosion-resistant welds, welding stainless steel TIG is the standard. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding condenses shop-floor experience and code-grade procedure into a practical playbook for consistent results on 304/316, thin sheet to schedule pipe.

Inside you’ll find dialed-in parameters, tungsten and filler selection (2% lanthanated, 308L/316L), purge and shielding strategies for sugar-free roots, heat control to prevent distortion and sensitization, and visual acceptance criteria you can trust. Built from thousands of joints, it replaces guesswork with repeatable setups, whether you’re fabricating sanitary tube, food-grade tanks, or repair work under the clock. No fluff—just procedures that hold up in the field and on inspection.

• Pro-level technique: torch angles, cup sizes, gas lenses, pulse settings that actually matter.
• Process control: purge planning, amperage/heat input, interpass, color standards for stainless integrity.
• Troubleshooting fast: porosity, sugaring, warping, grain growth—cause, fix, and prevention.
