Mig welding Aluminum vertical up

admin

Ok, I have been practicing my aluminum welding, filet and flat, I now want to try and do some vertical up. Is this much the same as steel, drop the voltage, ipm and move up in a U shaped bead? or is there a trick to making the nice bead?any assistance always greatly appreciated.Guy_48Welding is an art......Millermatic 252Lincoln SP175PlusLincoln 225 AC/DC

Reply:Dimes serve one purpose- something for Zap to use in pictures.Vertical-up on aluminum MIG is sweet with pulse.
