Aluminum weld differences
Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2024 9:52 am
Hello, I am welding 1/8” 5052 aluminum for work, we do a corner joint at 120-160 amps, pure 3/32” tungsten, 3/32” aluminum filler. we have a sister company doing the exact same boxes but their welds have a little wrinkle, or somewhat of a ripple looking bead in every dab instead of a smooth looking dime. I am wondering if it’s caused by an automatic wire feeder like a tip rig or some sort of robot?
What causes the wrinkles/ ripples in each dab?
