TIG ALUMINUM 11GA AC BALANCE SETTINGS 

check out the one page plan for tig welding aluminum

Simplified TIG settings using a Prime Welder aka PrimeWeld TIG225x

In my opinion, the primeweld 225 is one of the best choices in affordable tig welders.

The problem with most other really affordable tig welders is usually the foot pedal and the torch are just bad and clunky.

Primeweld went to extra expense to include genuine ck torches with superflex hoses along with a smooth SSC style foot pedal.

They also have a responsive primeweld equipment users group on facebook and also have demonstrated great customer support

Watch some primeweld videos and you will see what I mean.

A high quality CK dinse adapter is also included so that you can easily swap out a tig torch or cable when the time comes.

...Introducing the New WeldMonger Challenger TIG kit that includes the most frequently used Cups. 

WELD PROCESS = TIG, GTAW, GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING

METAL TYPE = ALUMINUM 6061 .120”  

THICKNESS =  .120" 

WELD TYPE = BEAD ON PLATE TO DEMONSTRATE AC BALANCE SETTINGS

JOINT TYPE = BEAD ON PLATE

POSITION = FLAT  

AMPERAGE = 140 CONTROLLED WITH FOOT PEDAL

TUNGSTEN = 2% LANTHANATED, 3/32"

FILLER WIRE = 3/32” 4043

POLARITY = AC 100 HZ

GAS FLOW = 15-20 CFH argon

CUP SIZE =  5

ADDITIONAL SETTINGS =   AC BALANCE SETTINGS OF 90, 80, 70, AND 60% EN SHOW LEVEL OF CLEANING ACTION

PRE FLOW = .2 SEC

POST FLOW = 10 SEC

TIPS: AC BALANCE ALLOWS SETTING THE LEVEL OF CLEANING ACTION.

MACHINES DIFFER SO AND SO DOES THE LEVEL OF OXIDATION ON ALUMINUM. SET AC BALANCE TO WHERE THERE IS A VISIBLE ETCH LINE AT THE TOES AND TO WHERE THERE ARE NO BLACK DOTS IN THE PUDDLE.

KEEP A FAIRLY TIGHT ARC AND WATCH TORCH ANGLE

Aim for an arc length that is equal or less than the diameter of your tungsten electrode.Torch angle can be forgiving provided your arc length is tight.
