- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2021
- Wonder what some of the most common settings I tinker with when I'm getting set up with Tig Welding Aluminum?? There are many small differences and variables, and when tig welding aluminum it really pays off to make sure you've got a decent understanding of these before you get going on a new tig welding machine, or one that you're not familiar with. When you're Tig Welding Aluminum, a lot can even change from different heat ranges, IT CAN GET FUSSY!
So hang out with me here, and we'll get ya super dialled to understand what's happening, and how to improve on some small details with your machine set up.
Let's GOOOOOOOOOOO

This piece of art is stunning, I love how you integrate the stainless steel colors with the overall composition.
Hey man. I have been tig welding for roughly 25yrs. Thought I was a great welder. But come to find out your videos have improved my aluminium work. Noticed using er4043 it is a little grany. Switched to 5356 and grane disappeared. Thanks for your hard work to help our industry get better.
5356 can be anodized too. I suggest everyone try to get good at it.
Of all the feature teachers with their "Muck Running" shoes on, I like your shows the most. Direct, comfortable, with little BS or "music". Thank You! JD
I've recently landed a job at a local college teaching welding and your videos have been invaluable in helping me and my students to understand the more granular elements of TIG welding.
Thanks you for everything you do dude 🙏.
Please tell my TIG instructor to watch this vid lol
True master! You tube university has one true master per 1000! Thank you!
God-bless buddy. People like you make the world go round.
Wow! Never even heard before how the A/C balance affects the tungsten. Nor did I realize importance of post flow on AL. YES PLEASE on more aluminum tips Dusty. You rock and are my fave TIG resource. Cheers!!
Been looking for that post flow tip for years! Can't wait to try it tomorrow.
Thank you Dusty.
Your videos on TIG welding Al are invaluable. This one in particular will help me out with tungsten care and getting a better finish, amp (heat control), filler rod control. Vancouver Island is an awesome place, was there in “98”.
Cheers Bruce 🇦🇺
I like the random acts of kindness. We need more of that. God bless you.
Thank you! I have been watching and learning from almost all of your videos.👍
Glad you’re breaking down pretty welds vs usable welds. I notice a lot of guys are learning off IG pics and are worrying about profile instead of penetration when pen is 10x more important than a “dime stack”.
My shop teacher use to hate pretty welds cause 90% of the time they were just too cold of welds lol
Hi, Dusty! From another episode, you are absolutely, positively 1000% correct about fine tuning argon flow! I turned down the flow just a little and it made a HUGE improvement in my ability to lay down dimes on aluminum!!!
I’ve always had the post flow problem and had no idea until I watched this. Thanks for the tip!
What you tell us is just like work poetry, stunning ! I love it 👍🏻 i just started tig welding Yesterday and no one expalin better and as precisely as you, you rock 🙏🏼
The colors in the artwork in the previews are insane . Respect
Always just in time when I'm thinking about some Aly. Great video
Great video. Very informative and educational. Quick recap for an Ole welder. Love the video shots and explanation.
Thanks guy! Battled my first aluminum tig job today. Started horrible, barely fused it together and finished slightly less horrible but now I think I understand how to set it better ✌🏻
Like I said I took a coerce at a school and was a waste of time and money I have learned more from your videos than I did at the so called school. Thank you Dusty.
Hi from Germany, thx for sharing all your knowledge. Really helpful to me as a beginner. Great videos, great explanations and great skills. 👍
Absolutely good advice! I'm a Welder and would rather weld Aluminum any day. I'm actually going to be starting a new job on Monday, and from what I could see, it's a older model Miller. But' it was set up pretty close, because I was able to lay down dimes. And the owner of the Company told me, when I was finished, that's exactly what he was looking for. So' I got the job, and can't wait til Monday morning. Great work on the pictures I saw. Beautiful work!! And yes' I live to help out others when in need.
Nice summary of good tips. Most I already knew, but always good to get reminders.
By far the most informative tig welding videos on RUclips right now. How about the same video but for stainless. Keep the videos coming Dusty
There is some really good tips there the post flow one was golden I've done that and had no idea why it happened now I know thank you.
Awesome tips! I just started Tig Alu today (previously did plenty of Mig) and it's great to see this!
Very helpful. The tip about post flow causing an oxide layer on the tungsten is definitely a problem I’ve had.
You're still f****** awesome bro! I've got to get another welder again soon! I'm going crazy watching your videos! 👍
Beautiful art
Watched this one, turned it on again and fetched my notebook 😂😁...very helpful ....tried tig welding ally this week, it did not go well....had several problems that you explained here....More videos like this would be a ton of help. Awesome video 👊👊
DUUDE THIS HELPED ME A TON !!! Thank you so much
Always something to learn..thanks Dusty🤘🏼
Thanks for the video. Your explanations were right on target. You should do a video on torch setup for aluminium. Thanks again
Thanks man that info on the balance was FIRE 🔥
Good vibes, thanks for sharing.
Thanx for the great tips man!! 👊
Lower frequency is good for welding thick aluminum casting especially when you need a pre heat session.
Good vid btw👍
Thanks, Dusty. This was so helpful 👍😊👍
Thanks for the tips young fella!
Trying to self teach myself.. watching you and Jody on Welding tips and tricks.. GREAT video.. thank you. Subbed
yes torch set up for Aluminum woud be awesome thanks brotha
Thank you it was very helpful
Very informative and well edited video.
Tops!!!
i got a test coming up this video helps a lot!
Excellent video Dusty, I'm looking fwd to seeing a torch setup video.
just here for your ART skills bro its crazy
Thanks for your time.
Great vid as always.
Great video, Thanks for sharing man
Dope, as always my friend. Alot of people like 90hz-120hz for outside corner, higher for inside corner 100hz-150hz, and lower for butt welds 60hz-80hz....and of coarse, all this is personal preference. Take care bud, down in Florida right now :) hard to imagine wearing a sweatshirt like u were in vid lol
Great stuff . Will look for more 🍻
I like this one. Very informative.
I shared your channel w a pal.
Great video. Blessings brother
Good stuff! Thanks. 👍
Always great tips bro, look forward for more 👍 😎
Thanks for the great video as normal love the tips and advice Thankyou👍👍👍
Great info thanks for sharing. 👍🏾👍🏾
OUTSTANDING😎🤗😎🤗
Torch setup vid. Yes!
Thanks for the help… I need it.
Id take a video on torch set up, but for every application. Setting up a 9, 17 & 26. Being able to know what adapters need to be used would be helpful.
I believe he made that one quite awhile ago under "torch setup", not sure if he uses a 17 tho. I cld be wrong
Thanks for the great video. I’m interested in another video in torch setup.
Never welded Ali I'm gonna jump in the deep end after watching you, it doesn't seem so daunting just bought a 200 amp AC inverter machine ...I'm also an artist sculptor trained in gas many years ago thank for the advice the random stranger is happy
I watch your “before” clips, especially the outside corner, and am thinking “damn I wish I could lay it down like that” haha
You had me at the "random act of kindness" .... 👍
Can you do a Tig welding Aluminum Tubing video? Settings/tips/tricks?
Any chance you could do a video on welding an aluminum rim? I weld a lot of cracked rims at work and curious how you would go about it. Thank you for making these videos. You have been helping/mentoring me through my tig welding journeys haha
Thanks!!!
Finally someone explaining it in plain english! So for a nice outside corner would you go for low frequency to widen the arc to catch the outside edges to blend in?
I looked into the AC balance question as I have been learning how to TIG weld Aluminum. What I have learned is that given equal cleanliness of the metal, as the total amperage goes down, the amount of EP percentage needs to go up. I haven't completely determined what this amount of amperage needs to be for the EP portion, but it seems to be around 20 - 30A. What I have seen so far is that when I was welding at 130A total, I needed about 20% EP, but when I went down to 80A total, I needed about 30% EP. I am going to look into this some more. For the Aluminum that I have been welding, I first clean is with a medium 3M abrasive pad and then wipe with Acetone. I will also be a bit more aggressive with sheared edges and use either a file or a sander with 120 grit paper.
Wish I understood most of this. Guess I got a direction. Ty
Thanks! Makes sense! Allowing that favoring electrode + draws more heat to the tungsten at lower amperages for better tungsten cleaning, what is the optimum amperage for a given tungsten diameter -say 3/32" - on aluminum? When might it make sense to choose a lighter or heavier tungsten diameter to favor the weld versus adjusting the current balance. Is it more a decision of convenience when switching from thicker or thinner base metal or the joint configuration requiring more or less heat? If you haven't covered this, would like to see a tutorial on welding into or out of an inside corner joint - ie: inside corner of a pan - compensating for arc wander and adding filler metal in a tight spot. Thanks! Love your work and tutorials!
Thanks
Great video love watching your stuff, can you do similar for stainless I get some colours but the filler wets out loads tried turning heat down up still wets out
Super 👍
I'm welding Ali SOOOOOOO much better as a result of your videos. I can't thank you enough.👌
Thanks for the info LARRYMOORE
" Turn the positive side up a little more, it will maintain a cleaning action back towards the tungsten, to maintain the ball at the end of the tungsten, for a much longer time," with practice, I have been able to watch the puddle and ball at the end of my tungsten. Thanks for the explanation.
thanks
Specialist top advice! True knowledge without egotistic ball- shit! Great tips!
Super interested in torch set up on different series torches.
Another great video Dusty. I always enjoy your art piece videos and also appreciate your instructional videos.
BTW was that a face printed on the back of your TIG glove laying on the table next to you at the end of the video?
Hi Dusty, hats off to you buddy. This is such an awesome video. I wish I could get that machine you have. I have a an Eastwood 200 Digital. Still having some issues to get a good weld.Cant gat the settings fo for a good weld . Having lots of crud, could you shine some light on this issue for me. I'm Andrew from NYC
Dusty, this was some great information...out to do something good...
Fantastyczny kanał. Pierwszy, który naprawdę wyczerpuje temat spawania aluminium 👍💪 nie mogę tylko znaleźć informacji, jakimi elektrodami spawasz aluminium? Pozdrawiam
Wish would would do an episode on how you actually ball the tungsten, Thanks
Thank you Dusty! PLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL!
I weld alot on old molds for a plastic manufacturer would love some tips on dirty a$$ aluminum tig.
So what is ur advice on an auto balanced machine. Lincoln squarewave tig175
Hey Dusty, what if I only have a 110v supply at home and I can't get enough penetration. Besides chill n fill, could I weld bothe sides of let's say a fillet/ outside corner
I would love to see the TIG setup for aluminum please
My job just purchased a millet syncrowave 300 and as many times as they try to set it it’s never really where it should be. We weld aluminum ranging from 1/16 to 1/4 inch any advice on settings, they are still debating weather to use 3/32 tungsten or 1/8. Thanks.
What types of welds would you use with lower frequency? And what type of joints would you use with a high frequency, or do you prefer to use a high frequency all the time?
I just purchased the Lincoln Tig 200 and i'm trying to dial the frquncy in,i tried the settings for the Miller i use at work but im not getting the same welds from the lincoln
Never really wondered until I bought my old dodge. It has a very thin aluminum stamped grille. It’s torn in one area and I’m wondering how thin can you go? I’d guess it’s 8-10 thousandths.
It’s so hard to find good grilles I thought maybe I can put two together.
Would that be DIG setting? For the more - or + ac wave?
So do you ball your tungsten still? Even on an inverter welder?
Hi, i have an older but new condition Thermamax Thermadyne Tig 200p acdc inverter im battling to set up for Alluminium. It has all the manual variable settings. How do your online classes work or can you help me with advice please. Michael Sharrock
how fast should one go through a 5 ft tall bottle? 200 psi for 5 min off and on welding? at 10 on the guage 4 sec post flow
Let's see that alum tig setup. #5 standard cup?
