TIG WELDING 6063 ALUMINUM .070"AT 50HZ

Higher AC frequency settings of 100-200hz  are great for specific applications like punching into the root of a thin aluminum fillet weld....or for limiting bead width on an outside corner of .050" aluminum.

But higher AC frequencies require a higher amperage setting just like high pulse settings require a higher amperage setting

If you are limited to a 200 amp welder, setting the AC frequency to 50 hz will help you get penetration.

TIPS: 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.
