Weld Aluminum with ANY MIG Welder

How to Weld Aluminum with ANY MIG Welder

[brianr]

I have not tried aluminum welding so im soaking up all the info and youtube training i can before i purchase any machine. i need to feel confident it will handle the job and last me a while thru all the practice time. Thanks Brandon for your teaching brother!

I did it with mine the other day! Went really well. Straight lead, U Grove roller, and over sized tip!

Resubscribed Brandon. Your knowledge is getting real brother. Good vid

Brandon, today at work a new welder was using a pad that he strapped over his left hand. It was silver in color. I have never seen that before. I seen one of your older videos about the left hand gloves. Just thought you might know about this.

I have a welder I’m not sure if it’s adaptable for this but man I wish I had one

In my shop I got 3 Miller spool guns for heavy aluminum. But i tig all the lighter aluminum

If you do the contact tip one size larger do you also have to change the rollers

I have AATD welder can I switch it out to make it an Illuminati? 130 Ap

Hi is Teflon liner also workable? Is Graphene better?

Im trying to fix a pin hole on my transmission i have the Hobart 140 never welded aluminum i try brazin but couldn't get the aluminum to 700 degrees

What’s that thing with the metal ball that tells you when gas is flowing please

[somanynamesilltrythis]

Good luck, i spent half a day trying and in the end, it didn't work. I know spool guns aren't cheap, but it's worth it.

Followed form tiktok 😊 to get result video🤘

Can it sorta weld Aluminum? Yes, But poorly.

Spoolguns are used on Mig welders for aluminum as it is softer and causes problems feeding through the machine. This is why he's recommending a graphene liner, but that wont save you from a birdnest building up if anything happens with the feed.

Second, no AC means you're not cleaning the oxidation layer, which means more argon, and poorer welds. Especially at 120v. AC Pulse is even better.

Lastly, you can't weld thin items. 18ga and larger only, if you're not fast enough the weld puddle will just fall off. More speed and more heat are required.

thats not a thousandth. its a hundredth

[SummerfallWinterspring]

Don't waste your money on a 110 welder.
220v only.

[russelljohnson]

So, you just full the room with argon? Most of these machines have no way to handle gas. There sure is a lot of information missing!

[Blaaggarding]

I'm sorry but that was 1 of the ugliest welds I've ever seen.
