Woohoo, I'm welding Aluminum


#1

Test of concept was tonight and it actually worked. I was quite surprised. I figured that the best I’d do is make irregular patterns of holes connected by black lines of crud. But instead nice neat lines of AL appeared. How very unexpected.

No fingers, eyebrows, nor garages were harmed in this trial.

Hardware
Lincoln 180 series (220V) MIG welder.
Lincoln 100SG Spool gun.
Big-ass tank of Argon.

No more being restricted to only steel. Aluminum projects here I came. First of which is to properly reinforce the car’s skidplate.
