Hello everyone. Here to get up to speed on MIG (180 Amp) with spool gun and TIG (210 amp) welding aluminium. A material I enjoy working with but a bit of a novice - although I have managed to build a lightweight boat trailer in box section ally with TIG.
Previously done plenty of arc welding building farm trailers and gates.
I have an old 6 metre project boat Ive been welding 2.5mm 5083 plates on to a tube space frame which I find is a bit tricky as its thinner material. I couldn't seem to find anyone local with knowledge or willing to work with ally plates on boats, hence why I have been doing it.
Keen to get any tips on working with aluminium or meet anyone local who can give pointers.
Many thanks, David
