23 April 2010

Mig welding with aluminium can be a tricky process, particularly if you\'re used to welding with steel. When using aluminium the problems associated with welding are amplified.

To help you out then here\'s a list of some essentials to keep in mind while welding with aluminium.

Get a spool gun: Trust us, this will save you countless headaches and prevent the aluminium wire becoming a mess.

Push the puddle: Pulling it will result in a more sooty, less polished weld.

Avoid burnbacks: By using a longer stickout you\'ll make your life and your aluminium weld a lot easier.
