TIG Welding Aluminum Techniques & Tips

I would like to see how you fix it if you blow through a spot, do you redo the whole thing or repair it?

Wow!!! The welding King !!!!

The best

That's smooth brother I tip my hat off to u. I looked at this video cause I'm trying to get a few pointers off u my friend

Impressive craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing these techniques

❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Is backstepping weld sequence used in aluminum tig?

Can a welding robot perform welding work and eliminate the need for labor?

Спасибо.

Looks great, now I have to hit the shop and practice both pedal pump and constant amperage to compare the two. 🤓

Красота 👍

❤

Great video 🇹🇹

Jodey thank u for teaching me to weld aluminum because for the next 2 years I have a welding certificate aluminum plate vertical 6mm but not only my test but for welding test for workshop reparing Semi trucks for petrol and diesel
Thank u for teaching me ❤❤

I'm new to aluminum TIG and learning so much from your videos. Thanks.

Damn that guy could weld a Peter on a snowman ⛄️

So what I do for tips on parts is have them side by side in the drawing, then once it's cut, layered, or plasma'd, I butt them up together and it sets the location and the nice filet ledge.

Back in the late 70's in the San Fernando Valley of California, I worked for a then relatively famous racing frame company named Trackmaster. We made flat track Harley racing frames, and later did all of the welding of the Redline BMX frames and a few others. Most all 4130 Chromoly. Anyway, Trackmaster was known for a signature weld appearance and it relied on aggressive pedal pulsing. Not only did it allow us to negotiate less than ideal frame tubing gaps (mostly on the Redline 4130 tubes, .... .039 if I recall, where the edge could disappear real fast) You can get your rod right in there as you come in with the pedal. But it also allowed us to get our signature spacing on our beads, at a high rate of speed. Lastly and importantly Chromoly does NOT like to be in the heat long...... get in get out, faster the better generally. If you walked into our shop at any given moment you'd see and hear all these pedals going nearly full travel pretty rapidly, lol, along with our big Linde UCC305 machines. Man, those were huge beautiful welding units! Still rival anything I've used to date. The pulsing has stuck with me my whole welding life and I use it probably more than I should, but it works and solves lots of problems. Thank you Trackmaster Racing Frames!

Hi! I need help with adjusting a cobot. Around two weeks ago the boss came and sad to start welding with cobot, without practice or tutorial.
The plates are 10 mm, wire is 1 mm, ArCo2 75/25.
I will look forward for answer or help.

I love my tig finger, makes life easier

The absolute expert level of the video capture on this is amazing!!! Jody you really know how to capture "The Weld" on video.

It's always interesting to me that generally the guys that immediately are nay sayers of the pedal pulse aren't industry welders. Or at least automotive industry for sure. I run a motorsports based fab shop down in florida and I'm a big fan of pedal pulse. Sometimes it's nearly the only way to do it in weird spots. Also I've always felt like for certain applications especially on thin ish material you'll get a stronger pen with less heat input. This is especially apparent on metals that really show a visible heat affected zone. The higher amperage punches through but background low amps during travel is less heat in the parent metal over time. Best of both worlds. Not to mention on tube work where rotating your hand is crucial, if you get hung up with manual pulse it's no big deal.

gorgeous. Ain't no tik-tok welds here :)

Jody still uploading. Legend 🐐

Trinidad as in trinidad and tobago? That is my country looking forward to seeing some proper welding💯

Hey Jody, I’m a high school student at lansing community collage I’m currently in there 2nd year welding program and was wondering if you could do a 3G open root groove 6010 root with 7018 fill and cap pass im having trouble with both my fill and cap I can’t get the perfection im looking for and it appears that there isn’t any videos of that exact weld it would be amazing if you could run a demo we run a 30 degree bevel with 3/8 plate

Amazing

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Cheers

Thank you teach

Awesome, love the look he achieves!

Are there any machines that have AC tig pulse? If you had a pulse machine that could weld aluminum, wouldn't that be easier than pedal pumping?

Blast tacks work on 5 series aluminium but are weak with other grades. Often it pays to do a dab of filler on top of the tack.

Jody, you and your videos single handedly taught me how to weld. I had never even held a MIG before jumping in to TIG. Now a couple years later I'm able to weld just about anything at a satisfactory level, from fuel tanks, to chassis, to turbo manifolds. Thank you for all the hard work you've done making these truly exceptional videos!

Welding Aluminium Tool Boxes for Utes, Trucks and Trailers.
Customers complain about different colours between the parent metal and the weld.
I use home made rods made from the same material and it is cheaper than buying rods.
I only use rods for specific industrial applications.

Try it out one day thin guillotined strips used to weld Aluminium tool boxes.
Do a cut and etch and you will be surprised how difficult it is to see the difference between the welded section and the parent metal.

I used this technique for mail shoots at the Postal Service’s Mail Sorting Center.
They used 1.2 mm thick Aluminium I used high silica rod’s for strength as they get a beating.

Curious. Is there any extra to be done if you want to grind the weld smooth ?

That little tab for tacking is freaking genius. Holy crap am i stealing that idea.

Which part of Trinidad would he be. I am from Trinidad and interested in learning TIG welding

Always enjoy working with you Jody, so glad we can share these techniques with your viewers.

Badass.

I assume that the pulse setting on the welder won't give the same kind of results? By the way, I know very little about tig welding but am very interested in it.

Amazing when I joined this channel there was around 100k subs and now you’re over one million. Congrats

Расскажите пожалуйста как делать красивые швы на тоном металле 1 мм алюминий

Great Video again, Thx 👍👍👍

Have you ar another chip kamera?for ,seing katód lhigt.

First off I want to thank you for my tig fingers I finally received them and love them!
I’ve always used a pedal unless it’s a situation I have to scratch start. I love the fact I have full control of the amperage. I worked in a fab shop that welded chromoly tubing making jr dragsters up to top fuel and it’s all they used was pedal. Why is it everyone talks smack about a pedal?

Hey máster, excellent tip

Beautiful penetration! 🤩

Haven't turned on my welder in 2 years, but MUST watch Jody's videos! They keep me from withering away until I can get my welder powered up again. Thanks!

points. Like that. And also seeing a different Al guru run his type of bead. I see the styles.
