Subject: Mig welding Aluminuin Author: Ryan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:50:37 05/09/04 Sun Hi, I have a 120amp gas/gasless mig welder which I am trying to use to weld aluminium. I have set it up with Aluminium wire & an Argon gas cyliner. However when I try to weld the alumimium I dont get any weld penetration, just little balls of aluminum with about 50% of them stuck to the surface of the aluminium plate. I was told 120amps is a little small for welding aluminium & to try pre-heating the pieces. I have tried this & get the same thing. Any ideas? Many thanks Ryan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
