TIG Welding

Burn-through on 16-gauge stainless or sudden warping on thin aluminum tubing often appears midway through a continuous-current TIG pass when […]

Choosing the wrong tungsten for TIG welding stainless steel produces an unstable arc that wanders, forces frequent re-grinding, and risks

Choosing the wrong TIG filler rod produces cracks, lack of fusion, or corrosion failures even when amperage and technique appear

Incorrect settings for TIG welding mild steel produce immediate, visible failures: thin sheet melts through in seconds, thicker plate shows

TIG welding bronze requires more than simply adjusting your welder’s settings. Bronze alloys conduct heat differently than steel, and improper

Many welders assume TIG is the “clean” process and therefore safe on stainless, yet personal air sampling often shows hexavalent

Setting up a TIG welder for aluminum often fails because the machine is left on DC settings that work for

TIG welding aluminum presents unique challenges due to its high thermal conductivity, low melting point around 1,200°F, and tenacious oxide

A TIG welding setup chart provides the baseline settings needed to produce consistent, high-quality welds across different metals and thicknesses.

Many welders struggle with inconsistent arc control, unpredictable heat, and failed welds—often because their TIG welder’s foot pedal is wired
