Re: tig aluminum welding inside 90 degree corners
I have add'l pics. Per your recommendations, these changes and verifications have been made: 1. verifies AC aluminum light lit 2. verified 100% argon 3. torch leak: none 4. set balance to 70% 5. amp setting 150 6. flow increased to 20 cfh 7. freq verified at 120 Hz Thanks to all of the helpful respo...

Re: tig aluminum welding inside 90 degree corners
Thanks to all immensely. I will get to work checking the basics and try to get a puddle on a flat sheet with new recommendations: 150 amps, 3/32 filler, 70% Balance, 120Hz and check gas, torch leak, machine setting for polarity, reducing gap between pieces; will go back to basics and report back.

Re: tig aluminum welding inside 90 degree corners
Exceptionally difficult day working TIG aluminum. Dynasty 210 settings made according to many recommendations coming in as follows: 1. Balance set at 60% (this is the lowest setting; it will not go to 50% as recommended) 2. Frequency set to 120 3. Gas flow at 10 CFH 4. Work itself grounded (not the ...

Re: tig aluminum welding inside 90 degree corners
Machine (Miller Dynasty 210) was purchased in 2020 about 6 months ago. I will look at paperwork & research further settings like frequency. Just an aside: I got so frustrated with TIG that when I owned the Diversion 180 in 2017, I shoved it in a corner in the shop and thought I never want to use...

Re: tig aluminum welding inside 90 degree corners
Thanks for all the info. Forgot to mention machine = Miller Dynasty 210 (not the 210 DX). By the way, very expensive new machine. Don't know if this machine allows setting frequency. I got this machine and got rid of a Miller Diversion 180. I had essentially given up on being able to use TIG, but al...

tig aluminum welding inside 90 degree corners
Most difficult to impossible for me is TIG welding aluminum in side a 90 degree angle. No matter how well tungsten is sharpened, the speed of travel, or the cup size (#7), the arc will wander between the vertical and the horizontal sheets of aluminum making it difficult to add filler to a molten non...
