    A friend just gave me a 115v/70amp stick welder and I need to weld the back on a broken automatic transmission. Was quite happy till you said it needs high amperage. I thought aluminum would be lower amperage.🤔 Anyway, not gonna work? Thanks for any advice. Getting desperate to get my beasty back on the road.

    • @aweldersjourney
      @aweldersjourney 4 месяца назад

      You can try it if you got a thin enough rod like a 1/16 and you heat the aluminuim you can try it. Why not. Its already broken cant be more broken after ur done.

      One more thing, if you don't mind. I'm about ready to ebay some rods. Any recommendations? Is one as good as another as long as it's 1/16? I saw one with silicon that's supposed to be less spattery?

    • @aweldersjourney
      @aweldersjourney 4 месяца назад

      The only ones i can find are these “Aluminum E4043 Stick Electrode Rod 3/32” Remember E4043 is the rod you need. I cant find any 1/16 rods only for TIG. Get the E4043 3/32 one and try it but i doubt its gonna have enough power to burn it.

    • @jimketchum3169

      ​@@aweldersjourneyI bought some on ebay earlier. Here's how they had it listed: ER4043 1-lb 1/16" x 16" Aluminum Welding Rod - TIG Filler Rod, TIG Rod. I watched a few other videos and hopefully I'm right that these can be used for welding with my 70A/115V or with a tig or even a torch alone. Dunno much and it's a bit confusing for a newby. I only ever used the trad 225V Lincoln for steel and that was many years ago. Think what I got will do the trick?
