Hey y'all
I'm TIG welding up some 8" aluminum irrigation pipe, just for practice right now but come spring i'll have a few repairs to do. Anyone here have any experience with it? Just a quick google search says Irrigation pipe is usually 3004. would 4043 filler be used for that? What'll happen if you use the wrong filler, just wont be as strong or will it simple not weld? Ive used a spool gun up till now but a spool gun and 1/16 ish wall pipe (dont know the exact thickness offhand) do not work for me! Ive tried a couple practice beads but have to get more filler wire as i only had a rod or 2 lying around. What filler would be the right one, and what size?
Thanks!
Julian
