Hi guys,
I've just picked up a used Gysmi Inverter 133 welder. I believe it's only to be used for steel, but I have found this page where a guy successfully welds aluminium with a DC welder using 4043 rods - http://www.hildstrom.com/projects/stickaluminum/index.html
I need to cut open an exhaust silencer and weld it back up (to repack the internals), the welds don't have to look perfect as it's a trials bike which takes a beating even on a good day!
The material is quite thin (I suspect 2-3mm) and I'm looking at rods to buy.
Some state TIG, will these work with my DC Inverter? It does state my welder does 'scratch TIG' but I'm having an information overload reading all this welding stuff!
Thanks!
