Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

Welding. There’s something almost supernatural about being able to melt metal and use it to glue other pieces of metal together. It’s an experience you must have if you’ve never done it before.

TIG welding isn't rocket science, it's actually closer to metallurgy. We get it. Most hobbyists are at the limit of their comfort zone with MIG welding, and mostly in non-critical areas at that. Our ...

01]Set the flow of pure argon shielding gas to 16 to 18 cubic feet per hour (CFH) for aluminum that's up to 0.500 inch thick. A percentage of helium can be added for thicker aluminum parts to increase ...

For Tig welding aluminum the only other 2 settings to dial in are AC balance and AC frequency. This video shows how to set AC balance and AC frequency for different applications.

Although some engineers have had success in spot welding steel and aluminum together, it has largely been considered impossible to achieve reliable, continuous welds directly between the two ...

The process of welding, in its elementary form, has remained unchanged for more than a century. By contrast, the machines that enable us to fuse metal to metal with an electrical current have advanced ...

As chief engineer for all resistance and forge welding activities at the Edison Welding Institute, Jerry Gould has focused on resistance spot welding and coated-sheet steels. He has published more ...
