Re: ARC Welding Aluminum
Just some added info. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas for those that don't know the accronym) allows the welder to better control the heat input with the torch so that they can better control the heat affected zone and minimize warping the metal.
Also I wouldn't suggest MIG (moving inert gas) welding a long seam straight through as the distortion will significant. It would be better to use a back-stich technique to minimize the thermal effects.
