TIG Welding Aluminum Part 4: How to Introduce Filler Metal

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

Thank you to the pro instructors and to Miller for sharing these instructional videos. Very generous of you folks, it is appreciated. Thanks.

[@mshores3871]

just started tig welding aluminum yesterday in school...thanks for the tips and advice...u fellas at miller welding kick positive ass!!!...thank u again

[@MillerWelders]

Thanks Michael -- we appreciate it. Stay tuned for more great stuff on TIG welding and much more. Weld safely, my friend.

Very good description and illustration it really helped a lot . Thanks Oh Great One !! Mike

Great series. I wish they had more on how to set the settings. I tried using a miller syncwave with all the digital settings and I was lost.

Excellent video! Can't wait until I can afford a proper miller machine that can do AC!

[@tylerfutch4634]

Damn..... nice weld; I've been lookin around, doing some heavy thinkin on getting a tig welder. I would like to express my appreciation for you guys putting up this video. I feel like i can already tig, haha. Well done, well done.

with the newer inverter type of welders Ceriated or Lanthanated 1.5 or 2.0 work great I prefer the 2.0 Lanthanated. No balling of the end is needed, necessary or desired. You want a sharp point with just the end taken off to keep it from jumping off into the puddle. This allows for a smaller bead and also faster travel speed and use on thicker material because the arc is more focused.

Thank you !! Very professional information..

Sure, a 20 percent duty cycle means you can weld continually for 2 minutes out of every 10-minute period before you need to stop and let the machine cool down for the remainder of the period. The Diversion 165 is 150 amps at 20%, so you could weld at 150 amps for two minutes before you need to stop and let the machine cool down for the remaining 8 minutes. Let us know if you have other questions. Weld safely now.

@unseenpunk1906 the tungsten is suppose to ball up and stay that way for aluminum, but on stainless or mild you want it sharp the red tungsten is for steel's and green tungsten is for aluminum, and yes it does matter

[@Coon8448]

Great videos

[@illestk24civic]

miller welders can you explain how does the duty cycle works in the diversion 165? since it was not explained in the dvd that came with my diversion 165, i want to understand when i am over heating my machine, 20% duty cycle means i can weld 20 minutes out of a hour?

[@illestk24civic]

great, now i understand thank you very much

[@lazhar700]

just perfect.

[@MillerWelders]

Thanks Tyler. Stop by our channel in a few minutes for our first live stream from SEMA, you can ask questions to Andy Weyenberg and John Swartz. We'll have 8 sessions this week.

Where is the fifth episode 5 of 5?

[@baboon420]

the black specs are probably from cross contamination of the aluminium with steel or something else.. make sure to clean the surface really well with a new wire brush and not using it on anything else

[@Ratkill9000]

Supposed to use straight Argon

[@joestrieder634]

bad welding! to cold not getting rod into the puddle and letting it melt off before adding

[@550Blues]

I bought the Miller 165 last week and have tried relentlessly to weld aluminum or run a bead with NO success. I've tried setting the amperage at all levels using straight Argon and Argon 75/25 mix and the only thing it does is either completely melts the aluminum or leave black specks on it from the arc. AND yes it's set to AC. I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with the machine...

this made me hungry

[@954RyN]

try electrode positive
