Just like the previous episode, we'll use what we've learned to weld an aluminum corner joint.
These are fillet welds and the amount of penetration required varies based on service requirements, weld symbol, or customer requirements.
The outside corner joint is one of the most common for fabricating tanks, boxes, containers, etc.
In this video, we are TIG welding 11 ga cold rolled steel and using different diameters of filler rod.
The first joint was welded using 3/32" filler rod at approximately 120 amps.
A second lap joint was also shown using 1/16" at slightly lower amperage.
In Brad Goodman's video on full penetration aluminum he used a Miller Dynasty that has all the features like waveforms and amplitude settings.
A member commented that he would like to see a similar video using a much simpler machine like the CK MT200.
I used a #5 clear cup (they film better) with...
This video deals with some of the most common mistakes when welding aluminum Tee joints and other aluminum fillet welds.
