AC frequency settings are a nice to-have feature but only if you understand what it does and where to use it. As a general rule, I use higher AC frequencies for thinner aluminum and lower frequency settings for thick aluminum...But just like everything else in welding, there are exceptions. Stacking TIG Beads on AluminumWelding Town Why AC Frequency Matters In…
Have you ever encountered the concept of fusion welding and been curious about its significance? Fusion welding, like many other welding techniques, serves the purpose of uniting two or more items through the application of heat. What sets this welding method apart is its inherent uniqueness - the option to employ filler materials or not, coupled with the absence of…
When electrically conductive materials need to be cut, gouged, or marked, plasma cutting is a cost-effective and practical alternative to the oxy-fuel, laser, and water jet cutting processes. Plasma cutting is used in a vast array of industries for an even wider range of applications. Below are some examples: Plasma can be used to help complete jobs faster and more cost-effectively. However,…

Part of what makes aluminum great is that it is so lightweight. It is also an incredibly sensitive metal. Being naturally more porous, the metal is more subject to contamination during welding. Since it is more sensitive, it also is subject to heat distortion. Check out some of these aluminum welding projects and admire the overall craftsmanship required to work with this metal. Perhaps you might find you want to try your hand at one. The 14 Aluminum Welding Project Are: 1. Battery Tray Materials:1/8” Aluminum plate, 6” turnbucklesTools:Welder, grinder, angle iron or sheet metal bender, hammer (optional)Difficulty:Moderate Watch how the designer builds a battery tray for his truck. He removes the battery, makes paper templates based on the dimensions…
TIG welding stainless steel can be intimidating for TIG welder beginners, especially when their welds turn out less than desirable despite following the same setup as a professional TIG welder.…
