AC Frequency Settings for TIG Welding Aluminum
TIG > For Beginners • 5m 11s
This video is about tig welding aluminum on AC at 50hz and at 250hz.
there was a noticeable difference at the 2 different settings. 50hz got completed penetration and 250hz did not penetrate.
I tried to keep travel speed the same for both welds by using a motorized welding positioner turntable.
Ck worldwide mt200 ac/dc tig welder set at 90 amps, AC balance set to 6 using 3/32" (2.4mm) 2% lanthanated electrode and 4943 aluminum filler rod.

Pretty Welds are Not Always Good Welds
In this vdieo, I use a few different tig welding techniques to demonstrate that a pretty weld is not always a good weld. Filler rod size and technique are key factors.

The current waveforms are advanced square wave, soft square wave, sine wave, and triangle wave.
They all have slightly different looks, sounds and characteristics.
Some waveforms are supposed to be better for thin metals, others for thicker metals.

How to TIG Weld Aluminum - Part 1
There is a lot to talk about.
things like tungsten electrodes..type and size ( i like 2% lanthanated for everything and 3/32 takes care of most of my daily welding)
shielding gases ...argon is best to start but if you begin to specialize in thicker aluminum, it might make sense to use a blend of ...
