  • How to Weld Aluminum Pipe. How I like to weld 6061 Aluminum Pipe, I used 5356 Filler metal.
    this is a video I made on how I like to weld aluminum pipe. I simplify the process for anyone wanting to learn.
    Hopefully this video will shed some light on how to get proper penetration on aluminum.
    for this video I set my TIG up old school. I was running 60 htz for the frequency and 45% dcep cleaning.
    I was running my Alphatig Ahp200x for all the welding. Its a good machine for home use.

    Very nice work; your narration is descriptive and to the point, no guessing required. Seeing it happen as you weld is excellent, it helps make your point about the waiting and the add filler. Thank you for your skilled demonstration.

    Honestly, I almost skipped the video since the start it wasn't filtering out the light but something told me to stick around. I am glad that I did. I have had trouble tig welding aluminum since it doesn't really pool the same way as steel (at least that is the way I feel) and your narration along with seeing it happen in real time helped for sure. I might hop back on the welder soon now!

    Very good video, I particularly like the approach view of the weld so you could see the area sink before you added rod, and how much filler you added each time.

  • @pipewelder69bs
    @pipewelder69bs Před 7 měsíci

    37 1/2 degree is the proper bevel for pipe heavy wall pipe such as main steam may have a 37/10 bevel on it and I’ve ran the gold track with 5 degree bevel but a 45 degree angle is way to much for a multitude of reasons this is just fyi! Your doing great job

    Great video man! Learning how to weld and I find myself struggling with piping mostly (working on building a hot side and cold side for my ls build). The inside and different angles really helped me visualize what to look for and understand that it requires good timing. I find as a new welder and being self taught, I’m always worried about burning through my material so sometimes (at least of SS) my welds look cold

    • @5thStreetFab

  • @0860888080
    @0860888080 Před 5 měsíci

    I'm just some guy that doesn't do anything like this, but I have ideas and think aluminum would be good to build the stuff I'm thinking about. But everywhere I look, people say "it's really hard to weld aluminum" like it's damn near impossible. Thanks to your video, I now think it's accessible with some good practice. Maybe in a few years my ideas will become real.

    • @5thStreetFab
      @5thStreetFab  Před 5 měsíci

      Ya i like starting people on aluminum because its easier to see. You have a much bigger weld to work with. Its not any harder it's just different.

  • @tonyhemingway7980
    @tonyhemingway7980 Před 4 lety

    There seems to be a lot of people in welding aluminum. If my memory serves me right, from when I worked in a ship yard, aluminum will shrink when welded. If you measured a pipe length, by the it was welded it could wind up shorter than you wanted. Especially if there were multiple welds.

    Where are you at, I own a trike and I was hit by a car, and the trike cracked and broke apart, I’ve tried to get it welded, yet nobody knows how to do it, so if you are not to far and willing to work on it I could sent it to you, I think that the kind of work just did will be perfect for it
    I thank you before hand and hope to hear from you

    Perfect bead inside.
    I think if the pipe is welded in position the story changes a bit.
    The sink in becomes a suck back and is a repair on x ray.

    • @5thStreetFab
      @5thStreetFab  Před 3 lety +1
