Hey Gregweld so it's not just the name you know what you doing
Tx for the help.
Welding 18g aluminum anything thicker I do ok for a beginner.
Type ? Pick up random clean pieces from salvage yard. Pretty soft maybe 3003
Using 3/32 2% lanthinated tungsten . Sharpened ( pretty thin ) w designated grinder , create a landing or let it burn and ball it's self.
AC balance is @ 65%
Frequency is at around 140-150 for inside corner
4043 1/16 rod -
About 50 amps but I don't floor it.
15lbs argon w #7 gas cup
Cleaned w acetone than brushed w Ss brush
Also tried .040 tungsten w no luck
My fight is right at beginning , arch wonders to one side or other ( tried higher freq) . But not able to establish puddle before I put gash on one side or other.

Maybe more seat time and popcorn will do it ?
