This video is about tig welding aluminum techniques for butt and tee joint welds.
basic settings are 100-140 amps using foot pedal so basically what that mean is at times I am at 140 amps but also much lower when heat soaks the small practice piece.
i used nearly 140 amps but when the aluminum gets soaked with heat, I used the foot pedal to use less amperage.
AC balance set to 30% cleaning, AC frequency set to 100 hz using advanced square wave. pre flow set to 1.5 sec and postflow set to 8 sec.
3/32" 2% lanthanated electrode, and 3/32" 4943 filler metal.
4943 welds a lot like 4043 but has better overall properties than 4043.
for the butt joint, I used a #6 cup with 15cfh of argon, and for the Tee joint, I used a #8 furick pro clear cup to aid with filming the arc.
I increased the flow rate to 18 cfh for the #8 cup but all other settings were same as the butt joint.

I hate how you always... make it look so easy. Great vid! and some stellar insights. Keep 'em coming.
This Old Tony Shouldn’t you be working on a mini lathe?
You make it look easy too Tony... You're the man!
Jody may be a good welder, but can he karate chop steel?
I hate how you both make it look easy.
It really look easy cause his angles always in a comfortable sides.. Try in different angles like overhead 😊
Good morning.
I'm welding instructor in Mexico and your videos always help me
Regards
I used to Tig aluminum everyday for about 5 years. ( i could tig an soda pop can back together). I was proud of that..lol. Anyway, I am getting back into it. I LOVE your vids. very informative.!! subscriber !!
I'm ravindu and from sir lanaka. Thanks you for all your tig aluminium welding videos. Usually I repay the broken automotive parts. When I started to weld aluminium , it was very very difficult to me and I was blamed by coustemers. But after watching your videos , I learnt many many thing of this welding. Thanks you thank you for all. I don't have much money to buy your products buy but however I will buy your product in order to help you. Thanks for all. Thanks you sir.God always protect you.
Always providing good quality informative videos. Thanks for all the knowledge you pass on. We need more people like you in the welding/fabrication trade
Naksab
tig weld your own TH-cam play button. it would be a cool video
This is why I love to watch tips and tricks , not 10 minutes talk fest about nothing but u get right into it
As a 6G welder of 35 years i am also losing my eye sight. This is by far the go to welding channel period.
Jody, I've watched every video you've done related to aluminum and as I go back and re-watch them I learn something new almost every time. Keep up the excellent work and I really enjoy the podcast as well. Your contribution to the welding community is invaluable.
I like the added foot pedal part. Very cool as always.
yes that what i was going to do to get an edge on all these guys if i start making videos. Smart thinking Jody
on aluminum, edge to edge, you need to make a heel. This means starting at approximately 5 cm and going towards the first end, then continuing the welding in the other direction from this first start to go towards the second end. There you are somewhat lucky to be in a fairly strong thickness, because not making a heel means taking a very big risk of having cracking on your start.
Great video. Im learning to tig aluminum and the close up video really helps to understand what is happening. Thanks for the tips!
👌 Thanx man, I'm a pipe fitter/fabricator I weld mild steel, stainless and tubing,. I've always had that nagging thing 'aluminium' on my mind. The oxides... 👌
4943 has been my go to for quite some time now. I do a lot of cast aluminum repair and it works very well when the base alloy is unknown.
I'm Tig Welder and I love my Work.. this is my Life
Cant wait to see you use the new Back purge fixture Adam is making .Great video !!
Great video, I learn something new every time I watch.
Your arc camera shots are just amazing.
Thx I was having problems tig welding .063 sheet together, butt weld. Full penetration but lack of fusion underside, the sheet edges were still visible. Weld split open during testing. Experimented with flux on the underside and it worked very well. Destructive testing proved positive. I could not split the weld.. Some loss of visibility from the flux flare but I'll manage.
This makes stick welding look easy
Great video as always!
I recently took several weld certifications, in different processes, including various aluminium joints configurations. The Tig Finger and Tig Finger XL made the difference with the aluminum for me. I was comfortable throughout my test. The other welder in the booth beside me could not say that.
thanks so much and congrats on the test results
A bit smaller piece and that aluminum practice drill part would make a nice belt buckle, Stainless and bronze brazing would look nice too.
Jody, was waiting for the next new video!!! Ha. Thanks so much. So I think we are at about the 4yr mark on watching your videos so we're catching up. So much fun to watch man! Keep em coming. Be blessed!
You are the MAN Jody. Excellent Job. Thanks for share.
Another gem!!! Keep up the good work Jody! I have your videos playing on my TV in the garage ALL the time. Makes it SOO much better when i can watch you do something and then I can try it myself right then and there! Love it when you explain things in depth. Makes for a great learning experience.
Thanks for everything!!!
I've booked my flights from Australia to come to fab tech this year. I have a sheetmetal shop in Queensland. Your vids last year made me keen. I hope I will get to meet you. ADFAB INDUSTRIES.
That weld is so good
Thank you, im learning tig right now and its so helpful to watch these. Your videos are great.
Just subscribed. It's satisfying watching a weld that gorgeous get laid down, and one day I hope to have such skill myself.
I really enjoy how he has exercises that I then can use with my everlast tig welder to up my game.
Very nice welding sir
For "T" welds I had trouble getting a shiny puddle on both metals at the same time. Solvents didn't help. A 3" sanding pad on a battery right angle tool to roughen the edges was a game changer. Also lower gas flow helped stamp out arc wandering. Keeping the tungsten almost touching was also a game changer. Maybe a AC balance more on the penetration side would help but auto is working on my Precision 185 transformer machine. 👀
Excellent quality thanks.
You make it look so easy dude.
TIG process (141) use AC and pure tungsten or zicroniated tungsten with hemispherical ball end, slop-out technic for minimise tungsten inclusion - slop down techni minimise crates pipe. Choice NDT test using penetran test (PT)😊
Starting the day with silver dimes and a cup of Joe 🍵. Thanks Jody
Very good for a beginner. Thanks have a good weekend
You can open a welding therapy clinic!!
relaxing voice and cool flame:)
Thanks for your great videos, please don’t pay attention to the thumbs down, it’s just a bunch of ignorants with some supervising jobs, thinking they know everything.
I always look forward to your videos
I really gotta learn how to hold the torch like you do, I always have my fingers basically all the way to the cup just to keep it steady.
Perfect tutorial 👍
Shake the rust off? I think you meant shake off the aluminum oxide! Ba dum tss!
I'll show myself out now.
Nice video Jody,thank you!
Thank you for making these videos, sir. You have definitely been the impetus for my rekindled interest in welding as a hobby. I find your presentation very interesting and easy to follow; and your camera shots are impeccable. I have been watching your catalog of videos from as far back as TH-cam will show, and look forward to all your new videos as they come out. Simply put, outstanding.
I'm looking at the Esab Rebel 215ic as my first multiprocess welder. I know it's only DC; but I figure I can always run a spool gun if need be if I ever run into the need to work on aluminum. Any thoughts on this?
God bless you, and continued success in your future endeavors, sir.
4943, learn something new. Thanks Jody!
Jody please say measurements also in metric, well just just say but in description too it would really help us hellows from across the ocean ;) BTW you was one of the masters who's
got me into to TIG
beautiful welds and another great video!
Invaluable info as usual. Thank you once more.
Last week I welded aluminum for the first time.
Helloo sir! I like your video....
Very informative....
I want to know that can i use this plante to repair car's cylinder head ...that is made of silver/aluminum...
You always make great movies. That's great.👍👍👍
Practice makes perfect. I need to get my powertig welder out more often.
videos and Tig Fingers are great ,, thanks
Very good weld
Hello Jody, I am trying really hard to follow all your tips and tricks on TIG welding and have gotten a little better until I bought a new Everlast 252 STi. Now I am in deep over my head and the manual just does not really help me know how to set up the settings for stainless and aluminum. Nobody has shown the AC setups for this welder and that includes your buddy Bob Moffit.
Is there any future plans for you to make a video on this machine and how to use the settings for AC TIG and pulse, etc.?
Oh by the way, I love the TIG finger. Since getting it I have not felt the heat while practicing with my little Everlast 141 STL.
As usual, GOOD video. You make it look so easy. To prevent blow throughs at the end of sheet metal welds, I was taught to start welds in from both ends and join them in the middle of the plate. It's kinda cheating and not fancy as yours, but it works pretty good.
Thank you very much!!! Just what I need to see!!!
Thx for the videos... just put in a order on the website Daron
When welding aluminum watch your puddle and your speed of travel,once you master those Two things,and a lot of practice you will master it. I’m retired now,but I was a aircraft welder with a major aircraft company for 35 years;my eyes gave out on me so I hung my welding hood and called it quits, I still miss the trade.
Had to put in an order for that awesome square, some new TIG fingers, and my first Furick cup. Make sure you all check out Jody's store. Great videos, I've learned a ton as a self taught, hack welder. Thanks Jody.
Thanks Jody
Great info as always, thanks Jody!
Thank you👌Thank you👌Thank you👌Thank you👌Thank you👌Thank you👌
Awesome video Jody 👊🏻
2 questions:
1... Have you ever had slight porosity that wasn't caused from contamination? Mainly toward the end of a joint. (assuming it's been something to do with gas... 100% argon)
2... Is there any negative effects of lowering your heat/backing off on the rheostat significantly when approaching the end of a joint that's thin like it is in this case?
Gonna be getting certified here soon through my company and want to sort out all the little things before hand. Thanks to anyone who with any advice!
Great video
You are a very talented tig welder sir. Very informative video. I just started messing with tig. I been a duel shield, stick an aluminum spool gun welder for 15 yrs. Tig is a different animal an I get discouraged feeling out of my element. I've gas welded with an acetylene torch an been told it's kind of the same motion but I've been struggling getting it to flow. Any pointers??
I think it's a LOT like torch welding! There's a small point that I'm still struggling with in both: That it's important how far the torch is from the weld. In both cases it's easy and natural to pick up the torch a little, and it makes everything worse! If you have a foot-pedal that's a help as you slowly get the co-ordination, a torch switch can help also. That is, if things get too hot you can let off with the torch switch. Things want to be CLEAN, Jody mentions this in several videos. Our ancestors used to SCRAPE the edges of joints for high-quality welds. I mention this b/c a lot of times one is practicing on random scrap that has been sitting around, you really want to see shiny bright metal before you start welding! Then do as our leader says: let the cleaning action work a little, then turn it up and get a puddle, then put in some rod. There's no shame in just stopping at that point, and see what you got! If you like it, next time make another bead overlapping the first.... Another beginner problem practicing with little scrap is that the heat builds up QUICKLY, you really want several pieces in rotation. It's not as bad for Jody b/c he moves a lot quicker, has the TIG-finger, and knows how to let off on the power as pre-heat builds up. A beginner is putting a lot more heat in to the work to do the same weld! I am finding that maybe six aluminum chunks can be shuffled around, just put an inch or two of bead on one and set it aside. Don't give up! It really does respond to practice.
Another Great video! I am purchasing a Miller Syncrowave 250. I Tig welded 15 years ago with some help from a friend. Have you/would you do a series about getting a new to you machine, going through the set up, testing and evaluation of the machine?
what was temperature on the but joint and were did you set the gas
Wow! Awesome video sir! Thanks for sharing!
You're better than a machine
Hombre muy buenos videos me gustaría si se podría hacer un video de la prueba 6gr con revestida o tig muchas gracias
great vid. Hey how about a Tig vids on how to bridge large gaps, thin metal and on parts that are just almost impossible to clean, ie exhaust pipes or something similar. Thanks, keep the vids coming always look forward to them
I wish your healty and good luck
souse korea seoul.. :)
Good work
Is the furrick #8 clear cup similar to CK' s clear cup that comes with their gas lens accessory kit? Thanks!
Hey there, can u give me tips on how to do overlay weld on aluminum plate? PA/1G position
Hi, the weld seems to have a slight gritty kind of finish, I get this quite a lot. Does anyone know what causes this? Thanks
unfortunately in my country there are not many tools used to do such welding. even if there is the price is very expensive so it is not affordable.
Helloo sir....
Can we use single phase AC tig-welding machine to weld aluminum ????
Good job 👍
Hi sir can you tell me which color tungsten rod use Tig machine to aluminum welding I'm New please please please please tell me Sir. From. India.
May i ask you please
Is there akind of tig wellding machine can weld aluminium or its doing the same job ?
Becouse i already buy tow machine one of thim called gaiant (china) 200 amp
And the other one is daeho korian machine 500 amp
Hi Jody, watching your videos, try turning the plates over so that v is at the bottom, you will be surprised by the result.
I will definitely try that...thank you for that. I have heard somewhere that it works great and then your comment comes in...
@@weldingtipsandtricks Turn over and then the seam will be smaller, I do that when it is impossible to process the seam and then inside,

superb !👍🏼

Thanks Jodie.
Hey Jody! (and welding community) a couple of questions from a non-welder wannabe....
one of the take-aways from your videos and many others is that a perfect, or near-perfect weld is the weld resembling stacked dimes....and from some YT sources, skilled welders don’t grind their welds...no need to. BUT...is there any time/occasion/instance where a weld can be ground without affecting the weld quality or strength?
next question: is there any time/occasion/instance where a secondary reverse-side weld is called for? like in a T-joint where one wants to be absolutely certain of the weld strength?
Really enjoy learning from your videos, Jody. Hope to someday get into this wonderful skill!
Also, you must be diliberate and intentional everytime you add or dab the filler wire...otherwise the filler rod just disentigrates...unlike stainless steel filler wire which can be left in the arc stream. Aluminum wire doesnt melt and drip into the puddle. If you dont add it right into the puddle, there will be problems.
Não entendo muito de inglês mas a imagens já me ajudaram muito valeu pelo seu canal 👍🖒
My friend, I was wondering if you may have a few videos showing how to stick weld aluminum? I mean in an emergency one never knows!! the only thing available a dirt cheap generator and a tomb stone welding machine..... it would be really interesting to find out about it...
Sir, Can we use TIG rod as a brazing rod or brazing rod as a TIG rod? In aluminium
Nice post
Thank you
Great job
Thumbs up, thanks for your time. 👌🏻
Can you talk about porosity in aluminum welding and how to prevent it? I'm doing a 3G groove test with backing plate 6061 .250 thick....dynasty 350...radiography shows major porosity thanks.
Thanks
How much mm sheet is there... And what is the temperature???
