The Electrode Size For TIG Welding Aluminum

Writer: admin Time:2023-06-11 16:23:35 Browse:408℃

One of the most common mistakes for welders working with aluminum is they choose an electrode that is too small. You often need to consider a 1/8” electrode for welding aluminum in order to get enough heat and to create a stable arc. Too small an electrode will create a sloppy weld.

If you’re working on AC with a lanthanated electrode, you may be able to use a 3/16” or 3/32” electrode. The key is to match your electrode choice and size with the settings and the project.
