Which TIG (welding) do you recommend?
Hello,
I am looking into buying a TIG welder. I have little knowledge of the art of welding beyond brazing but I am eager to learn.
I found http://tboltusa.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=808 this tig online and it looks like a good option. It seems to also have a 50 amp plasma cutter which excites me.
I am looking into welding pieces of aluminum together. Right now 16 gauge is around my thickness. I might be using a bit thicker at times. I know a bit about argon gas and how it works in lowering the amount of amps needed and also decreases the likelihood of porosity. I plan on using 100% argon all the time, unless there is a reason against it.
http://www.toolsurge.com/prodView.asp?sku=LE-84260 This is another welder that looks like a good bet for my needs. I am also considering looking into acquiring a used one, probably from someone on craigslist, but I don't know enough about tig welders to really be able to say yes or no to one.
Thank you!
Tig welding is a good choice for aluminum welding. It will give you the best quality and the best aspect of the weld. Aluminum oxide is a big trouble maker while welding aluminum. The only welding process that deals with the aluminum oxide by eliminating it during the process is the TIG welding using argon gas. There is only one negative aspect of TIG welding: productivity. If you don't plan welding a lot with the welder and efficiency is not an important aspect of you activity then TIG is the way to go.
An important feature of the TIG welder would be high frequency arc ignition without contact between the electrode and the work piece. It will help preserving the electrode and have wolfran invlusions in the weld
