I've got a bit of a repair to do on an aluminium trailer so thought i will give it a go with the minarc 180.
I have changed the liner to a teflon one and put on a tip for 1mm 5356 wire.
Swapped the gas to pure argon.
Here are a couple of poor pics of practicing with it this afternoon.
I had some 6mm 6082 plate chopped up a few bits and did a fillet weld and a butt.
I set the machine on auto and the max thickness of 2.5mm for aluminium
It worked well straight away
The butt weld is the bump to the right of the fillet...i welded both sides...seem to penetrate ok.
I'll put up a few pics of the repair when it's done.
