About two days ago I posted some questions about stick welding aluminum and stainless. Since that post, I found this great stick welding aluminum reference link, complete with pics!... I'm sure some of you probably have already seen this information. However, for the new kids on the block, this info is really valuable. I'm believe the author of the article in the link below is probably a WeldingWeb member too because he cites and attaches a few articles of aluminum stick welding from this website. What's really nice is the fact that the one page link is a nice tight package of many things one might want to know about welding aluminum with a stick welder. However, if you don't want to read that page, I can sum it up for you in one sentence on what I learned so far about stick + aluminum. STICK WELDING ALUMINUM IS NOT EASY! From what I got out of it, DC+ appears to be the best method, provided one knows what they're doing!This one page link below covers a large "test" selection of various stick welding rods and if the weld test was a success or a failure. http://hildstrom.com/projects/stickaluminum/Last edited by ANVIL; 12-17-2011 at 04:43 AM.

Reply:I'm not sure I'd call that page "excellent" by any stretch. There's really no useful info given beyond the very basics. A bunch of that chart is just stupid. Why in the world would you try to run brazing rods in an arc welder for example? While the beads look nice, I'm betting joint configuration is playing a large roll in that. I'm guessing an open outside corner joint was used, so all he had to do was fill in the corner, probably in a 1G position..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:Hey guys,Appears that some may not accept the fact that stick(SMAW) welding aluminum is an effort in futility to say the least. It is not a sound application for good, solid weldments that are easily attainable with MIG, TIG, & O/A. This is another post from member, ANVIL, that really invokes the question of his knowledge base in welding & what he perceives as optimum welding procedures & proceses.DennyComplete Welding/Machine/Fab.
