 Benefits of AC wave balance for Aluminium tig welding Share this video: https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=jClwV60uiqM Get more tips – subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYcAVANw1ybwe18GSirsHlw In this video titled “Benefits of AC wave balance for aluminium tig welding” welding lecturer Stuart Graves explains how AC wave balance works and how the AC wave balance transforms the traditional AC sign wave into an AC square wave. This transition is achieved through the AC wave balance adjustment dial which is found on modern Transformer / Rectifier and Inverter welding machines. These tig machine settings will assist all beginner tig welders with the initial welding machine set up of the tig machine when welding aluminium. You will find this welding video useful whether you are an experienced welder or a beginner fabricator.

These techniques will help and assist all welders when it comes to setting up a tig welding plant to weld successfully. The tungsten preparation shown are either ball end for welding aluminium or ground to a point which is required when welding carbon steel and all other metals. Explanation is also given which circuit setting is appropriate for the metal which is to be welded. TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas, which is also known as the GTAW process which stands for Gas Tungsten arc welding. The GTAW / Tig process use Pure Argon gas as the shielding gas to protect the arc from the atmosphere, Argon is an inert gas. In this video we are looking at Tungsten preparation for tig welding different metals. We will discuss the 2 types of Tungsten preparations and there applications. The grinding will be performed on a bench grinder and note we only use the face of the grinding wheel not the sides. The sharp point being prepared on this Tungsten is for welding all metals except aluminium. When welding with this preparation, make sure you weld with DC-ve polarity . If we welded with DC+ve polarity we would overheat and melt the tungsten, so ensure you are on DC-ve polarity. This is the preparation for all metals other than aluminium. When we prepare this tungsten we aim for the length of the point from tip to shoulder to be approx 2.5 times the diameter of the electrode. Now we look at the preparation for welding aluminium. A sharp point is not permitted when welding aluminium because the arc is to concentrated for the low melting temperature of aluminium. A slight chamfer on the end of a clean tungsten is sufficient. When welding Aluminium ensure you are welding using the AC circuit. Click on the times below next to the relevant topic and the video will start at this point.

Meet Alana Opdenakker, Alana is a 3rd year sheet metal worker apprentice and has just completed her trade studies at Midland TAFE in Perth. Alana did a great job of fabricating and welding this soccer ball out of stainless steel using the tig welding process. Alana enjoys the challenges of the sheet metal trade and with her trade studies complete is now looking forward to finishing her time to obtain her trade papers. Full marks to Alana for the fantastic finish on this soccer ball. These are the specs of Alan’s Soccer Ball Stainless steel grade used: 316 Material Thickness: 1.6 Amps used to weld: Tacking 70 amps, welding 30-45 amps 2 sec pre flow, 2 sec post flow Grits & polish stages performed: Grits – 120, 240, 320, 500, 600, Stitched sisal with fast cut compound, Loose leaf mop with green rouge compound Tack & assembly: 3hrs Welding: 2.5hrs Polishing: 8hrs Total: 13.5hrs Follow Alan 0n Instagram Regards Glen Jones the boiler shop.com.au Last update – 29th November 2018 About My idea behind the boiler shop is to create fun models that people want to build when they are working with metal. I am currently working on these three fabrication projects
I will announce any updates on instagram or on my web site the boiler shop .com.au More About I am based in Perth, Western Australia. I am a metal fabricator / welder, I have a passion for metals and how they can be worked into something clean and desirable. My motivation and passion stems from the many years that I have worked in the fabrication and welding industry, where I fabricated a vast range of engineering items in the areas of mining and subsea equipment. Some of the mechanical and geometric shapes found in engineering are very aesthetic to the eye and many of these patterns are the catalyst for my thoughts and ideas in industrial design. I take aspects of these shapes from the engineering world and alter them and incorporate them into my models. For over 10 years now I have worked as a fabrication and welding lecturer where I train apprentices. It is rewarding watching others enjoy making something that I have designed and I hope to be able to keep making projects that people of all ages and backgrounds can build. What excites me as we venture and delve deeper into the world of design we are only limited by our imagination. Regards Glen Jones www.theboilershop.com.au Qualifications
