My father passed away a few months ago. He had a workshop and welded aluminum. I focused on other things and didn't go to his workshop. Now I need him to be able to repair some things... I found in your video many of the things my father taught me but I had forgotten, thank you so much

A friend just gave me a 115v/70amp stick welder and I need to weld the back on a broken automatic transmission. Was quite happy till you said it needs high amperage. I thought aluminum would be lower amperage.🤔 Anyway, not gonna work? Thanks for any advice. Getting desperate to get my beasty back on the road.

You can try it if you got a thin enough rod like a 1/16 and you heat the aluminuim you can try it. Why not. Its already broken cant be more broken after ur done.

One more thing, if you don't mind. I'm about ready to ebay some rods. Any recommendations? Is one as good as another as long as it's 1/16? I saw one with silicon that's supposed to be less spattery?
@aweldersjourney5 ай бұрын
The only ones i can find are these “Aluminum E4043 Stick Electrode Rod 3/32” Remember E4043 is the rod you need. I cant find any 1/16 rods only for TIG. Get the E4043 3/32 one and try it but i doubt its gonna have enough power to burn it.
@jimketchum31695 ай бұрын
@@aweldersjourneyI bought some on ebay earlier. Here's how they had it listed: ER4043 1-lb 1/16" x 16" Aluminum Welding Rod - TIG Filler Rod, TIG Rod. I watched a few other videos and hopefully I'm right that these can be used for welding with my 70A/115V or with a tig or even a torch alone. Dunno much and it's a bit confusing for a newby. I only ever used the trad 225V Lincoln for steel and that was many years ago. Think what I got will do the trick?

You absolutely do need super thin gloves on each hand one because you need to be able to feel the handle of the torch in your hand two because you need to be able to feed the filler metal without it hanging up on your glove thin gloves allow you the dexterity you need to accurately perform tungsten inert gas arc welding always clean what you're going to weld tungsten inert gas welding does not like dirty metal it will spit and you don't want it to do that you want to hold a consistent Gap always avoid dipping the tungsten into your puddle it will cause you an erratic Arc and you'll have to re sharpen it it's really not that hard it's just these rules you must always follow and never light up without the gas bottle on and if you do please don't breathe the fumes coming off the tungsten electrode tungsten oxide gas is harmful
