Welding Different Thickness Metal. Aluminum dissipates heat much better than mild steel so the thickness of aluminum a particular machine will weld is 20 less than the thickest steel. Depending on the metal being welded you must also.
It took a bit of hammering to break the weld but when it did break the weld broke in two which means it was less strong than the steel it. It is more critical that the thicker piece get the penetration required than the thinner piece. Note that 0035 wire isnt listed for 14 plate.
Aluminum dissipates heat much better than mild steel so the thickness of aluminum a particular machine will weld is 20 less than the thickest steel.
In the place determined for welding the test specimens were corundum blasted and then degreased. Its all about playing with the settings. Aluminum dissipates heat much better than mild steel so the thickness of aluminum a particular machine will weld is 20 less than the thickest steel. For thinner sections in the gauge metal thickness the gas tungsten arc welding process can be used with a high-copper-alloy filler rod.
