OK thanks guys, I haven't had time to check the replies yet. Been too busy today but I'm headed there now. I appreciate everyone's help!:thumbsup:
Get a stainless steel wire wheel for your small grinder, and use it on the aluminum just before you weld. Also get a Scotch Brite pad and wipe down your filler rod just before using it.I'm getting a lot of black crud on the weld and the electrode is looking pretty oxidized too. Does anyone have suggestions on welding aluminum on a simple transformer with only high frequency?
I think I'll stop and pick up a ceriated and a lanthanated on the way home just to try it. Some 4043 too, I think what I have is 5356 or something like that. I aught to pick up an inverter while I'm at it!
