How To Tig Weld Aluminum Tubing. Know when to use dc and when to use ac for aluminum. Use a heat sink, which will absorb extra heat and allow you to weld slower;
I welded two tubes together then took a sledge hammer and smashed them apart. It’s a bit less, a little bit less than two millimeters thick. Use a heat sink, which will absorb extra heat and allow you to weld slower;
For the 1/4 (6mm) lap joint shown in the video the mig joint took 45 seconds.the tig weld took 60 seconds.
Tungsten inert gas (tig) welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding (gtaw), is best suited for welding aluminum and stainless steel. Tungsten inert gas (tig) welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding (gtaw), is best suited for welding aluminum and stainless steel. Know when to use dc and when to use ac for aluminum. Use a gas lens to distribute the shielding gas evenly and to create a smooth gas flow over the weld puddle.
