Today we're gonna look at some repair work we did on some .500 thick aluminum parts, share set points, and techniques.
The first video of a two part series where I weld an aluminum dog waterer out with the Miller Dynasty 400. The second video coming soon I'll do the same part with the CK MT 200.

This is part 2 of a series where we weld out the same waterer that I welded with the Dynasty. This time we're using the CKMT200. Lots of tips, arc shots, and instruction.

In this video we weld a 1/2" Aluminum plate to a .090 vertical plate. Bonus footage of a 3/4" stainless plate being welded to 11ga
This week we were commissioned by Kye Kelley racing to build an Aluminum TV cabinet for his car hauler trailer
In this episode were gonna weld up some aluminum pie cut tubing, .065 wall thickness
In this video we're gonna look at crater holes and what actually causes them, tips to prevent them with arc shots.
The Electrode Positive part of the AC arc is what breaks up the aluminum oxide layer on aluminum and allows the puddle to be clean and flow out well.
so let that cleaning action work for you before puddling dirty aluminum.
In other words...Dont puddle too quickly
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...
Brad Goodman shares some tips on how to hold your torch when TIG Welding
How to make full penetration welds on aluminum butt joints
Brad shows us how to keep trash out of our welds.
Word for the wise... if you get a call for a job and they say it'll be "really quick and easy"... Well, you probably already know.
One of the biggest struggles for new aluminum TIG welders is learning to feed TIG wire. In my opinion, it's one of the hardest parts of aluminum TIG to get ahold on.
Today we're looking at what I would consider the most common weld in aluminum fabrication - the open corner. Let's take a look at helpful position tips and a starting point for your settings.
Today we're gonna look at how I prep my plasma cut aluminum plate for welding. I'm using an 80 grit sanding belt...
In this video, I compare travel speed of an aluminum joint welded with TIG vs one welded with a spool gun
A laser cut aluminum star provides lots of different angles and opportunity to learn things like hand position
American Welding Society AWS D17.1 is the specification for Aerospace Fusion Welding Applications. This Specification provides details for welding certification as well as production welding.
A typical test required to certify a welder in aluminum is the 2f tee fillet weld test.
A common weld repair is to weld up a part that was accidentally machined wrong ..or a tool crashed or a corner got smashed when someone dropped a part.
In this video, I had a piece of thick aluminum that was a proto type part but it had an area that was also mis machined. preheat and bead sequenc...
Walked thru portions of an Aluminum Bike build with Mike Zanconato of Zanconato custom cycles. Aluminum TIG settings using a Miller Dynasty 280DX and expansion card with amplitude settings
In this video you will see TIG welding aluminum lap joints and comparing Stargon AL, argon/helium, and pure argon.
In this video you will see...Tips and Techniques for TIG Welding a 2g Horizontal Aluminum Butt joint. Cleaning, penetration, cup size
This video shows TIG welding several different alloys. Carbon Steel, 4130, Stainless, and Aluminum. Arc Length is key
