Just wondering if you could provide some video instruction on Tig Welding aluminum with a DC machine? I've seen a couple on youtube but would love to see some video from Jody on this.
Thanks, Bill

Not true.
Aluminum can be welded DC TIG.
VERY thin sections can be welded DCEP, and heavy sections DCEN.
There are previous posts on the DCEN, with pictures.

I agree with Steve, DCEN and DCEP both work on tig aluminum for different reasons.
DCEN needs helium though if I remember correctly.
DCEP is still argon (I've done this one).

you most certainly can TIG weld aluminum with DC.
