dc aluminum welding
i have a dc tig and i was wondering what would happen if i attempted to weld it at low voltage in straight polarity. im asking because a welding shop gave me some free aluminum rod but i don't have an ac tig. just wanted to ---- around with it

Re: dc aluminum welding
You don't need UHP to weld it...just need regular welding grade helium. It will take some getting used to, but really is useless to do on material less than 1/8". Any thinner material, and it will be VERY difficult to use DC to weld it.

DC can be used to put down some really nice beads on aluminum...but it's all about the operator's skill. I have a side job that I'll probably be doing some at in the next couple weeks. I'll try and remember to take some pics.
