What exactly does adjusting the frequency on AC do?

Man you bring a warm love, and lightness to welding. Seriously.

Thanks now we know it's not always just me when welding cast aluminum. Great videos!

@MrAluminox Haven't had oxy in the shop for some years now ,the rental on the bottles is just to dear for the odd job. But yes it can help on some rough castings. I think some of the older brands of flux worked better than the stuff they sell now?. It may not kill you as quick, but the welding is not so good.May just be me looking back though rose tinted glasses, rather than the readers I have to wear now. All the best.

The sad part is, when I weld alum sheet, it looks like that no matter what. :(
But as always great vid.

I have a project I have to do. Can you plez tell me how to read the amps on a diel that has #s 1/10. Maybe an equation

Thanks for video! Great to watching!

@stillbashingmetal Except the 7000 series (not very easy to find...) the others alu sheet easily obtainable behave practically the same. You can use also 1/8 (3mm) 6063 flat bars (1.5 to 2 inch. wide) and the first trial is to weld them together to obtain a sheet...LOL.
2mm is too thin for learning you'll struggle too much.

Many thanks Jody. Great video as always and I'm a big fan. Always very clear and explainating.

@RobRichmondRPG you're welcome
Hi Jody,
I recently busted one of my air powered grease guns. It fell from it's perch onto the floor and the neck broke straight off.
seems like it was made with a Alum/mag alloy between 0.045-0.065 thickness. I had to mess with settings on the D350 and ended up with 48% cleaning and ran 60pulses per second with 120HZ. The weld came out plenty strong but I know exaclty what you taking about in the video. Oh it was real ugly too.. :)
Good topic.. Thanks Jennifer

@allessence Good info. I use almost those same settings to tig weld brass...except lower pulse rate of around 39pps. It helps on the outgassing.

is there any way to weld a ZnAl alloy? I recently tried, but just like any other ZnXx alloy it was impossible due to vaporisation of the whole material. You're the "Mr. TIG", so You probably know the best answer :)

@TransAmDrifter alladin 3 in 1 rod. low amperage on AC with lots of cleaning. When it starts flowing good, stop because its about to cave in.
