How to TIG Weld Aluminum part 1

I always learn from your tuitions u are a good teacher I wish u be my mentor in welding and fabrication ❤❤❤🌟🌟

Just purchased a titanium 200 t
Ac dc tig welder come here to learm !!

Thank you for your excellent videos on how to TIG weld aluminum. I have never welded anything before, but would like to give it a try. Aside from the obvious need for time and practice, what actual equipment do I need to purchase to get started? Is there a list somewhere or can you provide a list of essential equipment needed? Much appreciated!

A camera on the foot pedal as well while your welding to see what ur doing would be handy for us newbies

I’m new to TIG and I’ve just started practicing on Aluminium, I’m getting some half decent welds on flat material but when it comes to inside corner joints I’m having a nightmare even starting a puddle in the corner it’s either sticking to the base or the vertical piece and I’m struggling to figure out what I’m doing wrong..

My first real insight in to tig ;)) lots more watching to do now.... amazing content which is easy to understand. Thank you

What tungsten colour mr.?

"don't add rod until you get that shiny wet puddle" thats some good all round advice.

Thank you for being a great instructor. I’ve been learning a lot from you just through a few videos

Beautiful welds. I cant wait to have my first go.

"That's a good use for a Harbor Freight square". :)

I like to use the DOEP method. I dip on every pass 🤬🤬🤬

For some reason I can run a good bead but when I try to do a lap weld the filler just turns black and shrivels up

Watching this long after you made it. Excellent info. My aluminum tig welding (just started) sucks so hard! I seem to be able to get a puddle and move it along just fine (a log time mig welder of steel) but as soon as I started trying to dab, I can't go fast enough or I touch the arc with the wire and have to stop and clean the tungsten, or I just plain bury the tungsten because after the weld pool gets shiny, it's hard to tell how much standoff I have! I even put a 2.5 magnification in my welding mask. -- On to the next in the series! then down to the practice arena!

Thanks a bunch hun bum❣️💯🔥

You are a good teacher ❤️

Do you have a video of proper metal prep?? I think alot of welders don't have good success because of poor metal preparation.

Got that old Lincoln, would like to try an inverter

Love it you get right into it!! 🤘

Good👍👍

Any videos on how to form our weld puddles, starting a weld puddle is a procedure that I tend to struggle with.

Conventional direction of current is from positive to negative. It determined by math equations -- it's more convinient to not deal with huge amount of minuses. Electrons flows from negative to positive but real current in gases presented not only with electrons but with ions too and those ions can be both polarity and can flow in both directions.

Thank You

I need one job there please reply sir

👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍

So if you need ac for the tig to clean and heat, why does mig dc work on aluminum

If you are welding an engine cast aluminum head what setting set up you recommend

You are a machineman!!!! Jaja..goood.

This is definitely one of the better learning channels I have seen so I will try to be more supportive to keep learning and breaking some of my old bad habits lol , I’ve always prided myself on being an ugly welder but my welds are good , I’m gonna change that this year and try to make my welds prettier lol 😆

I learned more in 5 minutes of tig here than I did in welding school 40 years ago lol , my instructor was an old ship welder from Bethlehem steel shipyard and that should probably tell you that I was a much better arc welder when I graduated 😄

My welding pool seems to get contaminated, when i add rod. Any tips?

Can you walk cup on aluminum?

Thanks for the tips! I'm just getting started with a TIG, and aluminum.

What is the best low cost TIG welder for aluminum airplane building?

How do you maintain a weld puddle ? I seem to always have really flat puddles and can’t even start a good weld bead.

What is the polarity on welding Tig Aluminum?

I have recently started playing around with TIG welding aluminum. I often end up blowing through the plate or getting serious deformation on the back of the plate or joint. Any idea where I might be going wrong? I am working with a millermatic 255. I have balled the end of the electrode I working at 75 amps. Metal is clean as a whistle, and I'm using and 1/8" tungsten with a 6 ceramic cup. I feel like I am moving quick enough but I still get the bubbling in the back.

Алюминий легкче сварить чем нержавейку или чёрный металл или латунь

Do you preheat aluminum before you weld

Jody: “That’s a good use for a harbor freight square.”
Me: “Amen! Lololololol 🤣🤣🤣”

These videos are fantastic. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and seeing you do it so clearly is tremendously helpful. Thanks.

Very nice lecture and footage! Congratulations!

which gas do u use for aluminum welding

hi sir

The thickness of aluminum being used here? .080? .125? .050?

Nice video. I'm using a Miller Diversion without much control - Just "AC" and current setting- this seems to work well when i get things right. The most difficult thing I encounter TIG welding aluminum is just seeing the weld puddle and keeping the electrode out of it. My eyes aren't great and any tips there would be appreciated.

I watch alot of welding videos and I just want to say jody you are by far the THE BEST so full of knowledge. I learn something new or revisit something I have forgotten. I appreciate you and your videos thank you
