Can i wekd aluminum using this tig welding machine
Simple - use helium, not argon!
I had no idea - I take it that the helium negates the need for the cleaning action provided by the AC cycle as it prevents the aluminium oxidation?

Step brothers bought a box to do small repairs to their boats to save me having to haul myself and my gear out (I always moan about these jobs ) They couldn't get them to work so brought them down to see if I could. I managed by bumping up the current and pushing them in as fast as I could. They worked, it wasn't pretty but not too ugly either but wasn't that strong, it would have done for filling the wear grooves up as they had bought them for but they just couldn't get the hang of them so now I have sold them my old EWM Phoenix 330, still have to give them a few lessons, should be funaye - aluminium ones are specifically called MMA rods because it takes a fair scrap to get them to do anything right!

Never tried DC tig, heard it is like stirring soup through porridge. I wouldn't fancy having to use either except in an emergency so that is as good as my answer getsSerious question; would they be any better or any worse than DC TIG with Helium gas then?!

Aluminium Rods are only used when nothing else is availableWell... what about aluminium MMA rods? I didn't know they were a thing until recently!
