Well that was interesting. I thought he just meant in general. That's how I read it. If we are referring to just tig welding than you can use DCEP for some aluminum I beleive but it is rare. Other than that for tig, it isn't really used. If you only meant tig welding sorry it's my fault I read it wrong. If it was in general it's Jeffs fault.

Edit: i guess I generally skip looking at what area the post is in and get what I need to out of the post. Whoops. But yeah (well just blame Jeff though, it's more fun)

I will give you credit for actually giving an answer cause I'll be damned if I know. I weld steel on DC and Aluminum on AC. That sums up my welding knowledge...but I can make a killer margarita

If you are interested in this dcep aluminum welding, weld.com had a video. Just rewatched and it says that it is generally for small non-critical repairs if you don't have a AC machine. At least you get cleaning action then and don't just sink your puddle like on DCEN.

Yeah I know-not ideal but if he shows an arc and a puddle and a weld that might hold up for light repairs it is worth something. Just glad bob took over now. A lot better

Did Mr.TIG do his "stir the pot" dance at the beginning of the video? That's usually the best part. :D

Yeah he looks like the best day of his life is the day he was born :lol: I kinda feel sorry for him taking on a reputation...Jody can weld circles around him.

Yeah, but he is trying to help the noobs so he deserves some credit for that. Think of him as the Mr. Rogers of tig welding instructors. ;)

I hear ya.. He's probably cool but look at Jody and look at old Wyatt there and you can see who has been a hard worker and who....likes to eat too much.. Moral of the story...I would never hire a fat carpenter :lol:

I thought the fat thing was for cooks. I guess you don't want a hole in your roof and broken rafters :lol:

I've done some DC+ tig welding on 1/16" aluminum with 100% argon.

My good friend only has a DC machine and wanted to know if it was possible so I lit it up to show him how.

To my knowledge he has not actually used it for that since then, he just wanted to know if he could.
