GTAW (TIG)- Module 4 Practice Kit

$119.00 USD

Train TIG fundamentals fast. Pre-cut A36 steel coupons sized for flat, horizontal, vertical-up, and overhead fillet practice. Steel only (no filler, no gas)—pair with the recommended consumables below and start stacking quality beads.

Who it’s for

Students and new welders learning GTAW on mild steel who want repeatable practice parts for skill checks and test-outs.

What’s included

  • Pad plate: (1) 6″ × 6″ × 3/8″ (heat control, pad-the-plate drills)

  • Flats (A36, deburred): all 1″ × 6″ × 1/8″

    • T-Joints: (10) flats → 5 joints (4 practice + 1 test)

    • Lap Joints: (10) flats → 5 joints

    • Vertical-Up Fillet: (10) flats → 5 joints

    • Overhead Fillet: (10) flats → 5 joints
      Total flats: 40 | Total joints: 20

Why this kit works

  • Right thickness for TIG: 1/8″ flats balance puddle control and heat input.

  • Repeatable counts: 4 practice + 1 test in each position—easy to grade progress.

  • Pad plate @ 3/8″: absorbs heat so beginners can focus on arc length and timing.

Recommended consumables (not included)

  • Filler metal: ER70S-2 (cleanest) or ER70S-6 — 1/16″ (primary), 3/32″ (optional)

  • Tungsten: 2% Lanthanated or Ceriated — 3/32″ and 1/16″, long taper, DCEN

  • Cups: #7–#8 standard or gas-lens kit for better shielding

  • Gas: 100% Argon, 15–20 CFH (22–25 CFH with large cups/drafts)

Starting settings (guidance, not a WPS)

  • Polarity: DCEN

  • Flat/Horizontal on 1/8″: ~95–115 A with pedal control

  • Vertical-Up: ~85–105 A, tight arc, small triangle/inverted-V with toe pauses

  • Overhead: ~80–95 A, very tight arc, shorter arc length

Prep & setup

  • Clean to bright metal ~½″ from edges; wipe with acetone after grinding.

  • Clamp T-joints at 90°; Lap overlap ~½″. Use stops to control distortion.

Specs & shipping

  • Material: A36 mild steel

  • Contents: (1) 6×6×3/8 plate, (40) 1×6×1/8 flats

  • Steel weight: ~12.3 lb (boxed ship weight typically 14–18 lb)
