YES Sir ! ! ! Dusty, you understand the key to teaching. You break down the topic into digestible sized bites then give them out in a specific order, so that the student builds confidence and understanding.
Thank you for showing running amps! I've been starting higher than .125. and my rest amperage is probably much higher than 80ish. Ive had trouble with gray aluminum. Love your videos! Learning TIG has always been a goal
Excellent video. When I was learning to TIG weld aluminum, I concentrated on obtaining a consistent weld bead. Then I worked on getting consistent penetration. I learned quite a bit from your videos. I come from a different background in aluminum fabrications. It is where the components are in high stress situations and often are based on a required fatigue life. An odd aspect of aluminum welds is that a cap is not wanted as the toes of the weld are a location for the initiation of fatigue cracks. As a result, the weld caps are ground flush with the nearby parent metal. Also, there is a desire for minimal penetration on the back side of the weld for the same reason. The focus is on producing full penetration welds with as near to zero porosity as possible. There is also a concern about the width of the weld due to potential alloying component dilution. In the design of these structures, the focus is on the welds for the strength and fatigue analysis since the welds tend to be weaker than the parent metal, especially with the 6xxx series alloys. I recently finished a project for my shop to build a storage cabinet out of aluminum. It is 4 ft wide by 4 ft tall by 20 inches deep. It has about 1500 inches of weld on it. The saying that there is no substitute for practice is quite true. One of the largest amounts of weld deposit was a lap weld of 1/16" plate on 1/8" thick square tubing. The next largest was lap weld of 1/8" plate on 1/8"thick square tubing. I could see improvement between the earliest welds to the last welds. On thicker material or critical welds, I will do bevels in order to ensure complete penetration without excessive burn through.
Hi. Totally of topic from this video. What method / machine would you use to weld 0.4mm steel plate. Reason for asking, made some cones for rc boat tunepipe, now the weld portion...🙈. Thanks for your video's.
En français on appelle cela ne pas mettre la charrue avant les boeufs. A notre époque les gens pensent que miser sur le matériel va les dispenser d'apprendre. Il y a un truc très important en ce qui concerne le soudage de l'alu, cela va toujours passer par apprendre aussi à faire avancer au fur et à mesure son métal d'apport pour devenir un bon soudeur et ne pas rester un bricoleur. .
Love this! As I'm getting more and more into aluminum processes, your channel is a go to for me for aluminum TIG. I may still get my a$$ to Nanaimo VIU's welding course to get my ticket and be 'legit'.
I appreciate this comment a lot, I don't think my videos could be called Clickbait in the sense that somebody clicks and doesn't get value, the theme for this video is exactly what the title is, and anybody who takes the time to watch is going to get nothing but value as well as entertainment. Thanks so much for watching, happy Friday!
@@PacificArcTigWelding all I fabricate is aluminum and I always learn something. Your videos are always useful. You share little tips and even bigger tips that not other channels would recommend... And it works. It's good stuff man.

i watch all you're videos when they come out. i just wish there was someone out there that taught MIG welding like you teach TIG
Try Making mistakes with Greg.
Thank you!

Really enjoy your style of teaching, if you ever want to get out of the frozen north some winter you will always be welcome in Arizona!
I would love that! Very kind for the invite, thanks so much for checking the video out!
If only I’d been told all this 25 years ago. It makes so much sense!

don't worry so much! you make the absolute perfect tutorial videos....
Thank you, Dusty, I am leaps and bounds better at welding thanks to you! ❤
Thank you Dusty!
What a wonderful teacher you are. 😅
Great information, Dusty. You're a good instructor .
Great explanation! Dusty! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍!
Always great information Dusty….cheers from Orlando, Paul❤❤❤❤❤

Good morning
Good morning Larry! Hope everything is well with you!
Yo that Knocked loose tee 🔥
My JAM🔥🔥 Thanks so much for checking out the video
thats not what she said
PLEASE disable automatic translation. It is horrible.
🪙🤙💙
step one to getting pen leave a small gap lol
Olá amigo, na fala dublada sua voz não combina com você, parece uma voz feminina, porém o vídeo está excelente
I know and like your english videos. This one dubbed into german is not really motivating to stay tuned.
Das kannst du in den Einstellungen bzw Videooptionen ausschalten

Clickbait may generate plenty of clicks, but only for a time. After you've abused your viewers' trust enough, we will start ignoring you
Appreciate your feedback,
I don't think a click bait title will matter if the information in the video is useful... Which it is and has always been.

Apparently, clickbait means different things to different people.
This video is the title, and this comment is the "trouble."
