spot welding Aluminum

[Ram48]

Hello
I have a project where I would like to use my tig to spot weld .040 aluminum sheets together, I have been doing that with sheet metal with great success using a home made standoff and the spot timer on my tig machine. any input or suggestions are appreciated
Thanks
Ray

Hi all,

Just did a video of us doing some aluminium welding in the shed and was wondering if some of you could give me some feed back as to what we are doing wrong or right and if you think our assumptions are right. We are really new to this.

Hey everybody,

I've done a fair bit of mild steel welding but now I am making an aluminium project for the first time. I'm making a ski bike, it will be a bit like a north legion smx if anyone is interested.

I will be buying 6082 box section aluminium and it comes in a T6...

I am having lots of difficulties trying to do aluminium stick welding. I also phoned the manufacturer of the rods but they couldn't give me much information. I read in a book that I need DC and it is difficult to maintain the arc, however I am not convinced that I am doing everything right. To be honest...
