Re: Dirty outside corner welds on Aluminum Diamond Plate
I wonder if the 250 amp figure is for DC. You get considerable tip splitting, or nodules at high amperage on AC. Jody suggests intentional balling to prevent this. Yes, and on the Aerowave I used to use we would intentionally ball the end. The Miller documentation for this Dynasty recommends using ...

Re: Dirty outside corner welds on Aluminum Diamond Plate
Thanks everyone for your input. Ok... I made a couple changes. I set the amps to 175, the A/C balance 65% EN, and the frequency to 100. Things that were the same as before - Waveform: advanced squarewave, Gas: Argon, Tungsten: 3/32" 2% ceriated tungsten. I only did a slight more cleaning on the...

Dirty outside corner welds on Aluminum Diamond Plate
I am looking for advice with some difficulty I have when welding .25" thick aluminum diamond plate. The material was sheared. The welds are outside corner welds. The machine being used is a Dynasty 350. Obviously set to A/C, machine defaults for wave type, orange, 3/32" Tungsten, 140 amps....
