At some point aluminum rods for arc welding were available. I tried a few using AC and FWD & REV DC. No success whatsoever. Later I was told they worked OK with Oxy/Fuel. Never attempted the method as I decided just to stick with TIG or MIG wet-up for aluminum. Anyone out there have any success with Oxy/Fuel aluminum welding?
BTW, checked on the price of Durafix and decided against it as the price is high and I have the Torchmate for my MIG and am in the process of building a TIG using an AC/DC FWD/REV stick welder as the power supply. Won't be as good as a real TIG with wave frequency, etc adjustments, but will be better for welding thinner aluminum using the MIG.
