Tech Tip: What Are Your Aluminum Welds Telling You?

Your Aluminum Welds are Telling You Something: Check the Gas!

How Gas Flow Affects Your Weld Results
When weld results are not as desired, we often at our welding equipment. More often than not, this can be an easy fix by adjusting your settings.

See below how gas flow can make a difference in your weld results.

Gas Flow High
If the Gas Flow is Too High, it will cause:
  • Spatter around the weld bead. It will also cause Inconsistency in the bead height due to the gas pressure being pushed into the bead.
Gas Flow Low
If the Gas Flow is Too Low, it will cause the weld to look:
  • Too Porous (If you look closely, you can see the porosity and the pin holes in the weld).
No Gas
No Gas Flow is nearly impossible to weld with, it causes:
  • Inconsistent Feed
  • Spatter
  • No Penetration
Incorrect Gas
Incorrect Gas can cause the weld to look like:
  • The welding wire is piercing through and cutting the material.
  • Little pellets dropping on the material.
