is a aluminum welder just a normal stick tig welder with a difrent gun put on it ? i have a stick tig welder but i think that only weld's steel but if i get a difrent gun and get the aluminum rod's will i be able to weld aluminum and will it be strong as it will need to be because i will be doing work on my dirt bike motorbike frame so will need to be strong , some 1 help me , thanks
@RyanMankstar , Dude, not tryin to be a jerk, but tig is a tough process to learn and if you havent learned, do not try to weld on your bike. The material is more exotic, and requires a lot of prep and cleaning to get it right. You dont want to learn on something that will get you hurt if it fails. Been there done that and getting hurt sucks.

Fusion putty is added to the reverse before welding, it's called autoimmune fusion and cold fusion is applied before the weld begins, it was invented by the russians
Yeah my teacher told me that. Even though, it's not so good to use the fuse method on usual steel because of all the pores. It's more usual to use it on aluminium.
i think aluminum is always supposed to be run on ac, idk if u can weld it with dc, and i have welding classes every day xD, i got certified in stick and mig, and i was practicing tig but went back to stick open root to pratice a little bit.
@ TheBodvarg Wanna be pro you don't know what your talking about yeah you can fuse it but your not allowed to according to the spec sheet on the parts. Yeah its simple to fuse haynes 188 or any metal but its not easy to add filler to super thin (.0038" thickness) haynes 188 without it falling through. Just because you have been welding for 30yrs doesn't make you a pro iv worked with ppl welding longer than that and their welds still suck.
You dont have to add rod all the time on thin metal. Just depends on the metal. Only at your start if staring on a edge. Haynes 188 stanless is a metal you need to add filler. Haynes is on of the harder metals I have weld on.
Ok... No you don't have to add filler all the time. When the metal is thin you can just fuse it depending on the metal and thickness. I have worked for a couple places thats fuse weld some parts. One of the jobs we made jet turbine for the US military. You have to be aerospace certified of course so Its not like I just welded it how I wanted to you had to do it the way the spec paper told you to. From adding filler or NOT to the psi your gas was set at and your voltage.
@XxhollowpointsxX if you cannot weld haynes 188 without filler you cannot weld so simple is that i´am a pro and have been working in welding for about 30 years
looks like some distortion. maybe try starting the weld with the middle raised off the table, then the bead will lift the ends up, so it's flat in the end.
@supindersingh cool, cause i was always taught that aluminium couldn't be fused, because it would eventually crack... after fusing about 10 pieces of aluminum duct t6
Tig is same as gas welding with-out defects of gas welding. when you press the trigger of tig gun, by placing it 2 to 5 mm above work, a high voltage spark happens and stops in a second after starting the arc between work and tungsten electrode. Argon as shielding gas also starts flowing as CO2 in MAG, it protects the work and tungsten from oxidizing. The started arc melts the work. Move the welding torch to weld, you can set the current as desired. Use a filler wire to fill the gap on work.
If no gap on weld area filler may be avoided and if it's a show room item and full strength is needed.
MS and SS welded by DC TIG with or with-out filler mostly no filler when process is automated.
Aluminum and it's alloys welded with "Square Wave AC TIG" known as AC TIG. Mostly filler wire is used due to low penetration of weld pool because aluminum is good conductor of heat it spreads heat input rapidly, Hence low penetration. In DC TIG sharp tungsten electrode and for Al flat tungsten used
When you use flat electrode for aluminum it converts to ball shaped after some second of work. AC Tig need more thick tungsten electrode than DC Tig. Torch head of AC Tig goes hot early, Hence most Torches for AC Tig are water cooled.
This is my first video and First AC Tig machine designed and devolped by me.
without filler you will get a weaker concave bead, undercut at the toe also becomes a big problem in weld strength. with aluminum its important to slow cooling both by weld speed, filler amount and speed at which you end the arc. GTAW includes filler, its most of the challenge. you can make it look like you know what your doing really easy when your only doing half the welding technique.
try running a weld likd that on 6000's. this is no instructional video. some aluminum will crack down the weld if filler is not added. plus by not adding fill the weld is typically undercut creating another failure point.
this is video almost anoying, the comments saying its good... its a job anyone familiar w/ tig welding can do, that saying, try adding filler rod and make it look like a bicycle weld.
@pauliscool2991 Thank God somebody picked up on the pitfalls, in this alleged instructional video? Being able to feed filler wire into a weld pool at the correct speed and angle, is the requisite ability which makes you a skilled welder. This guys hand movement was shaky/juddery, not progressive. Just because he has access to a welding set? Doesn't make him a welder or a welding guru? who's conceited/dumb enough to post videos without a thorough insight of the skill required to do so.
Aluminium forms a quick oxide layer on it with in second and that oxide layer also protect it from futher oxidising. This layer has good dielectric propriety, and behave as a paint on aluminium, wrost problem is its melting temperature is more than 1000 degree centigrade. Hence normal tig arc can not go straight to melt welding area. The arc wanders to find a current flowing way and do'nt go straight. Solution is break oxide layer by square wave AC and H.F. current to straighten the welding arc
TIG can be ran on either AC or DC. Alum can actually be welded using DC but it is very difficult. AC, as irritating as it can be, is much easier to weld Alum with. You most certainly can purchase a GTAW welder with DC only, most of your lower end units are DC only machines.
You are right. Fusion is the process of joining two alloys. when you GTAW two alloy with out filler rod, it is call autogenous welding. The problem with not using filler rod on aluminum is that the weld will normally crack from the stresses.
this is true. you'll probably have a stronger joint if you use a filler metal. and just a little fun fact for you TIG is slang. the proper term is GTAW. it stands for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. just to let ya know.
Actually TIG is an older term, stands for Tungsten Inert Gas. Even older welders referred to it as Heliarc, which is actually a brand name. GTAW is a newer term along with GMAW formerly known as MIG and SMAW formerly known as Stick welding. Peace.
this is true. you'll probably have a stronger joint if you use a filler metal. and just a little fun fact for you TIG is slang. the proper term is GTAW. it stands for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. just to let ya know.
Many viewers say this is not welding because it is fusion. They said this because of their poor knowledge. Welding was present many decades from BC. When was electricity not present welding process was done by heating metal by coal then hammered to join. All around the world MS and SS silencers of bikes are welded without filler on tig mahine.
zxzas479 - The term "fusion weld" is a broad term that pertains to all welds that use heat to melt two pieces of metal and allows them to flow together. Filler metals may or may not be used but in most cases they are.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you are useless thats not tig welding the term welding means adding a filler meatal to metal that is already there to bond them you are just doin a fusion butt weld.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dats not tig welding wen u dnt use filler irs called fusing and its very easy to learn to fuse but tig welding is hardest welding besides underwater and anyway u wer going the wrong way
experienced TIG welders produce the highest quality welds out there.
It is a very clean process and is usually used to make high quality decreet welds.
Mig welding is a pretty easy process to use, and its very fast, so its usually used when speed is key. it can make some decent welds, but nothing as strong as some better tig welds.
LOL, if you have to weld from both sides, you are not a welder.
MIG-welding is a cheap, good weldingmethod. But you easily get problems with getting the weld to bind with the material. You rarely get that problem when TIG-welding.
DC Welder does melt aluminium but you can not feel melting because pure metal has covered by its oxide. when you try to weld oxide may increse and wel does not possible. Another problem is arc does not go straight because oxide layer(di-electric layer) is insulative, Hence arc jumps left-right or rotate to find an electric path. AC Tig welding uses Square wave output. Their high rate of voltage change damages the oxide layer, Hence welding arc finds straight path and melts the target point.
The oxide layer contains aluminium oxide plus tungsten oxide plus pure tungsten coating due to evaporation of tungsten by excessive current setting for thin electrode and >50% +ve cycle in welding current.
i am new to tig welding i was wondering if someone could tell me what those white streaks are from on the side of the bead in the first part of the video.
The white streaks are the result of the cleaning process from the AC voltage. Your Balance function on the machine controls how much or little cleaning action takes place...HTH
was that a bend test at the end of the vid? it looked like there where a bunch of cracks. Also, the second weld in the vid, if you let off your heat a little more at the end of the weld, you wont melt the corners off. ;)
very nice, looks good, would u be able to post up a video of how to properly set up a machine, and also maybe some tips and pointers for total beginners if its possible
Some viewers think without using filler Tig welding have less strength, for better strength place sheets between 160 to 180 degree. Problem occurs when you place sheets @ >180 degree. Do the practicle place sheets @200 degree and weld it. you will see weld have poor penitration and matel @ joit (weldbead) is raised. Hence poor weld.
Be sure to wire brush before TIG welding! The oxide coating melts at a very high temp compared to the aluminum. Plus welds won't stick to the oxide very well.

can you tig weld any aluminum without using a filler metal?

You can. But it would be weak as hell.

The bend test was done on first job and does not break it. No test was done on second job

was that a bend test at the end of the vid? it looked like there where a bunch of cracks. Also, the second weld in the vid, if you let off your heat a little more at the end of the weld, you wont melt the corners off. ;)

Level Tungsten electrode with Ceramic Cap (Don't pull out it from cap). It gives better finish and smooth welding.

Some viewers think without using filler Tig welding have less strength, for better strength place sheets between 160 to 180 degree. Problem occurs when you place sheets @ >180 degree. Do the practicle place sheets @200 degree and weld it. you will see weld have poor penitration and matel @ joit (weldbead) is raised. Hence poor weld.

I have a suggestion for you, use some filler rod and then show us your welds.I was hoping to see something impressive, what you did was childs play.

Sorry to say mate but i have welded under cars before and tig is a lot cleaner. Most metal fuel tanks are tig welded and so are most exhausts.

Be sure to wire brush before TIG welding! The oxide coating melts at a very high temp compared to the aluminum. Plus welds won't stick to the oxide very well.
