Hi! Im new to welding, and have no idea what i am doing really! I am trying to weld some 1.2mm ali with my clark 105e hobby mig welder.
Now at the moment im only trying to practice so im not joining anything together but i have a problem, im either blowing holes in the Ali cos im going to slow, or the aluminium melts a bit and i get a nice redhot fireball rolling around on the floor?!
So i guess the wire and ali arent mixing for some reason, i think i am using ali wire, the reels i have (3 different tyres) dont have any markings on.
I have pure argon gas and im using a 1.0m tip with .8 wire.
I dont have to reverse the polarity do i? I think its on posative at the moment.
Any help would be great, thanks
