Hey Dustin, this is one of the Best!!!! videos I have seen in a long time..... very well explained, and to the point, I love the humor you added and your personality really shines through.... You are a fantastic addition to the Weld.com Hosts.....and I hope to see a lot more from you and your great way of delivering the information..... Thank You Very Much....... I am a big fan of Hobart 4943 and have gone through about 8 pounds of .035, in the last month [it is always clean and never any surprises .....] The project I have been doing, all spool gun and a combination of F3, F2, & G1, G3.. .I do get SMUT, but not in the weld bead.....[it is the Magnesium Oxide that is so dense, light can not reflect back through it] and since some of the G welds get ground flush, the extra strength of 4943 over 4043 helps a lot because of the 0,5% magnesium is very beneficial, I am welding 6063 1.5 inch .125 wall thickness square tube....all F and G welds are beveled with a 15 degree [included angle of 30 degree] with 100% bevel, no land. all done with a router, so no inclusion of aluminum oxide from grinding discs..... and it takes about 5 seconds to make the double pass with the router for a perfect SUPER CLEAN bevel.......I hope this helps someone out there..... by the way, these frames for a display have over 30 feet of weld , all in 1.5 inch lengths and over 300 welds.....getting into all the angles with TIG for the first two or three was insane, especially for an old creaky guy with a big belly....so I finally told the guy I am working with.... hey, we are Migging this, and since I am the Weldor, that is what I did.... Cheers from sunny Florida.....Paul Brown

Good info especially on torch angle, which sometimes we over look. I wonder if you might do a video on mig aluminum bridging a gap on and or thin to thick aluminum. I use pulse mig on aluminum and it seems to help, not everyone has a welder capable of pulse aluminum. I usually fill the gap with scrap aluminum first but this is not always do able.
@venture17fly
@venture17fly Год назад
Turn your amps/wfs down real cold and drag it like you're running a steel mig open root. Don't shoot the gap and keep your wire in the puddle, weave side to side like you're walking the cup but in reverse because you're dragging. This method is very sensitive to the wfs, Just like our boy Dustin here said, If you burning through turn it down. The resulting weld will be sooty so just brush it and run a beautiful bead over top like normal (push). It ain't easy, but it's doable. Also this method is in no way up to aws structural standards, I just use it for cosmetic stuff. 99 percent of the time there's access to the backside of the weld and I just use copper or stainless as a backer.
@himynameisjeff
@himynameisjeff Год назад
I run pulse on a Lincoln s500.. when it comes to gaps I prefer tig for the control, but if you can turn your voltage down cold and use your arc control to get a wide arc, I've had luck with bridging/ filling gaps on pulsed mig. I'm sure there are other tricks for cv, but I'm in a production shop and don't have time to deal with the spatter from that, so never played with it too much. Not an expert, but I hope that helps somewhat👍

aluminum mig is a dirty process so there's no argument from me, however tig isnt required very often. i do a lot of Tig on the topside & interior parts just because its preasing to the eye.

Nice patch there. I would round all the corners than you don't have start and stops on them and start weld from middle to middle. Mig welding aluminium downhill is big no no for me there was space to go uphill and good visibility on front of the puddle.

Good stuff. But one of the questions I'm trying to get answered is, at what point do you just scrap these instead of repairing them? I'm on the line between trying a rebuild or trying a new build which looks less time consuming.

Being new to welding, do you have to preheat aluminum?
@DustinApple
@DustinApple Год назад
not if the air temp is above 50* and your settings are correct. if the part is over 1/4" thick then it needs preheated at least on the start. Tig welding however doesnt require preheating as the process allows to you to monitor heat and work accordingly
