Welding Stainless Steel Tig - TIG Welding Secrets

Welding Stainless Steel TIG, mastered with precision

When welding stainless steel TIG, tiny mistakes show up as color, sugar, and distortion. TIG Welding Secrets delivers shop-proven procedures that remove guesswork—exact parameters, prep, and sequences for 304/316 from thin sheet to tube and pipe. Expect cleaner roots, tighter beads, and heat control you can repeat on schedule work and production runs.

Built from thousands of hours on stainless benches, this guide shows how to set amperage and pulse, match 308L/316L filler, choose cups and gas lenses, and dial reliable back-purge flows. Learn to manage heat input, travel speed, and arc length for code-ready results with minimal post-cleaning—plus practical fixes for warping, pinholes, and sugaring before they start.

  • Thickness-based amperage charts and pulse presets you can trust.
  • Purge, fit-up, and cleaning checklists for bright, contamination-free roots.
  • Repeatable torch angles, stick-out, and travel cues for consistent color.
