Well I was doing pretty well with tig on steel so I thought I would try aluminum. From reading here I know I need it super clean say use denatured alcohol and a dedicated wire brush. So I picked up some srap 1/8" 6061 and started playing. I can push a little puddel along ok and add filler with some work but trying to to a t joint the aluminum doesn't flow well. The top part just desolve before the bottom get's fluid. Where should my heat be consintrated? I am on HF AC with 135amps with a 3/32" pure tungsten (I'm going to get a pack of lanthated tungstens next trip to the welding shop). Anyways what wave form should I use and how much electrode positive should it have? I have a thermal arc 185 and I'm pretty new to tig welding.
Thanks,
Justin
