Heres a couple tig welds using the positioner.

I thought about posting some pics, but this is a tough act to follow, lol

A t-joint of 1/4 aluminum made with a Millermatic 210 with spool gun.

If you weld a Pepsi can to a Coke can, do they break each other down like dissimilar metals? Perhaps you need to weld a piece of a RC Cola can in-between to prevent electrolisis?

OK, so how in the world did you do that???
DETAILS!

HF TIG rig set at about 10 amps would be my guess.

HF TIG rig set at about 10 amps would be my guess.

Inverter with all sorts of wave balance and pulse features is more likely.

I tried the cans with our dynasty. HF, I thing 5 amps, and triangle wave with pulse set to not deliver much heat. Now granted, we didn't have a small enough tungsten or filler, but I still kept burning through.

If that was done with a conventional gig, m
y hats off to you.

Are you sure those aren't solid slugs of aluminum with. A can body over it???

Welded thoes with an old Miller syncrowave 300. Have welded others with syncrowave 250's and Lincoln square wave 225.

It can be done with a normal cup and a 1/16 electrode (prefer 2% to pure as you need to keep the tip sharp vs the normal ball for aluminum) but its a bit easyer with a .040" 2% electrode and a gas lense.

Never tried it with any of the inverter machines I have but I bet they would do it.

I need to remember to try this soda can welding. I'm sure I won't have much luck. My Dynasty can only do so much for me, and this would be asking way to much of it!:laughing:

Here is a guy who is an amazing Tig weldor. Bill bought a new Dynasty 350, and had one he!! of a time dialing it in.
