hey guys. i know there alot of talented people here, need a good vehicle to carry all your tools around ;)
on my 2nd year of school for body work. i have an assignment i need to do...
and i need some help with some information.
just a neatly written essay on SMAW aluminum welding. it needs to include:
-electrode types used- so far i have found AL43 and E4043. not sure if those are the only ones or both the same thing...
-the breakdown of aluminum electrode codes- i might be able to find that. havent checked yet
-polarity used - i found that is DC
-approximate amperage used- i believe that is 50-165 ?
-advantages and disadvantages- what i found: bad- weld splatter, porosity, poor fusion, shallow penetration, cracking
good- very versatile, simplicity, low equipment costs.
-applications - ?
-where used - 1/8" sheet and bigger.
its hard to find these things on the internet so im just asking around. your help is appreciated!
btw heres my new truck
