Here are some more information for Aluminum Tig:
Tungsten electrodes are available in Thoriated, lanthanated, ceriated, and a few other varieties. When you are welding steel, they all have one thing in common.
They need to be sharp. But is it really that important to sharpen them the way the welding textbooks describe?
I have been TIG welding for over 30 years and have sharpened tungsten electrodes all kinds of ways. Even with a cutting torch. That's right I said cutting torch. I don't recommend it, but it does work. I have also used Chem-Sharp, belt sanders, small 90 die grinders, bench grinders, big electric grinders, and even the new high dollar tungsten electrode grinders.
The bottom line is this. Unless you are welding razor blades, a lot of the anal retentive textbook methods for sharpening tungsten electrodes just don't make much difference. I know I am going to get a lot of hate mail over this but it's just plain true. Like most welders, I was taught in welding school that a bench grinder with a stone devoted exclusively for tungsten was the only way to sharpen tungsten. And that all the scratches from grinding had to run parallel with the electrode.
Then I got a job.
The real world has a way of separating the BS from the down and dirty stuff that really works and Its kind of hard to sharpen a tungsten to textbook standards when you are up 60 feet in the air on a scaffold and need to tie in a weld before the next wave of steam leaks past the safety valve. And If you have a small grinder in your tool bucket you do the math pretty quick and give it a try. I learned quickly that as long as I used a smooth enough grinding disc, spiraling grinding marks be damned, everything turned out fine. A couple of hundred good x rays without a tungsten grinder also tend to make you think you are not doing everything wrong.
So is this whole tungsten electrode sharpening thing getting Big-Dealed?
Yes and No. It definitely sells tungsten sharpeners.
Seriously, I can think of a few applications where textbook tungsten sharpening is important . Razor blade type thicknesses would be one, Another example is for automated processes like orbital TIG welding. In orbital TIG welding it is pretty common to join stainless or titanium tubing that is only ¼ " in diameter with wall thickness of less than .030". Amperage for these type welds is very low and even small changes in tungsten electrode preparation can really make a difference. Since the geometry of an electrode tip definitely does have an effect on the arc, you will want to use a special tungsten grinder to get every taper and tip consistent so that when something goes wrong, you can eliminate tungsten preparation as a variable.
But If you are TIG welding something like a 1/8" thick bracket for a set of headers, Don't sweat it. Just use a clean sharp electrode sharpened however you choose and weld the dog crap out of it.

How to Creat Continuous Long and Durable Welds With Tig Welding
Not all metals can be processed without effort by welding procedures; there are some with very high conductivity properties that accumulate and generate heat almost instantly: it is the case of aluminum and magnesium. These metals came to be used only as late as the 1940s by means of special welding procedures known as MIG welding that has now been largely replaced by the process known as tungsten inert gas or tig welding. Presently, tig welding is used for almost all aluminum workpieces that require exemplary execution. The electric arc is formed between a tungsten electrode and the metal surface, the result being a very clean weld without any signs of oxidation whatsoever.
Tig welding is an automatic or semi-automatic process that allows the creation of continuous long and durable welds that wouldn't be possible otherwise. The best gas shield required by tig welding is helium, argon or their mixture since, in association, these two chemicals increase the welding speed and the power of the process for deep workpiece usage. However, argon is welders' favorite gas where tig welding is concerned; the explanation for this preference lies in the density of the gas – heavier than air - and its high quality coverage.
Why is the presence of the inert gas so important for tig welding? The flow of argon passes through the welding device simultaneously with the electrode, and during the process it acts as a shield against various contaminants present in the atmosphere that may affect one way or the result of the procedure. To put it in simple words, the argon keeps the air away from the weld area. Though tig welding can presently be used to create all sorts of very fine welds, steel and aluminum are still the metals the most widely associated with the tungsten inert gas procedure.
The pieces of equipment also need to be adjusted to the requirements of tig welding; for instance there are several types of joints especially created for the purpose. We could mention t-joints, corner joints, lap and butt joints here, some of them need a filler rod, some others don't. The independent form is the butt joint where the pieces of metal are connected along the seams. The use of each the above in tig welding processes involves different types of seams and placings of the metal pieces. Good knowledge of process specificity is an absolute must here.

Which is the better machine? The Lincoln Pricision Tig 375 or the Miller Syncrowave 351?
I am a growing fab shop, and I am in the market for a Tig Welder with high power and excellent aluminum capabilities.
I have always owned Miller machines but the precision tig has more power and draws less power at full rated output. Both machines have the same features and are the same price so it is a toss up at this point? Which one Is better ? The Lincoln Precision Tig 375 or the Miller Syncrowave 351? Please Help?? Ive have been talking to salesmen for both machines and all the do is say the other is crap. I need real comparitive answers!
The problem is that they are in fact very comparable. Personally I would go with the Miller do to my experience with their products, and a good customer service department.
