Here are some more information for Welding Rod:
Welding aluminum is harder than welding steel. Why? Because everything that can go wrong on steel is magnified times 10 when you are Tig welding aluminum.
Cleanliness, machine settings, arc length, welding with a dirty tungsten electrode, torch angle, filler rod angle, type of electrode, and size of electrode . You name it, When you weld aluminum, its just more important to get all these things right,
- If the aluminum you are welding has been left outside, like a boat dock ladder, or aluminum boat propeller, it is most likely heavily oxidized. It needs to be cleaned or it will weld like Fido's butt.
- The machine settings have to be right too. Alternating current is the name of the game for tig welding aluminum and the high frequency switch needs to be on continuous...otherwise the arc will stutter.
- Amperage is usually controlled with the foot pedal and with steel, you dont have to continually adjust amperage. At least not much. But since aluminum is such a good heat conductor, your foot pedal amperage control will get a workout. (Some tig welders even use the foot pedal to pulse the amperage to overcome heat buildup and to get the stack of dimes look.)
- Arc length is important on steel, but on aluminum it is even more critical, too long an arc length and the heat will not be pinpointed enough casing your rod to ball up and contaminate, too short an arc length and metal will seem to jump on your electrode causing you to cuss like a sailor.
- With steel, sometimes you can get away with a slightly dirty electrode... no big deal. But on aluminum, a dirty tungsten takes all the fun out of welding. The weld will be sooty and will prompt your buddies to make fun of you.
- Too much torch angle will cause the heat to melt the tip of your filler rod and the filler wire will blob into the puddle,. This happens on steel too, just not as bad.
- Type of tungsten electrode matters a lot too, especially if you are welding with a newer inverter type tig welder. Old timers used to insist on using pure tungsten for tig welding aluminum. With the new tig inverters, using pure tungsten to weld aluminum will make you ask for a refund on your welding machine.
- And what about the size of your tungsten electrode? With steel, it is possible to use a 3/32" tungsten for almost everything except razor blades. With aluminum, you need to use the right size electrode for different thickness metal. You really need to keep some 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" tungsten handy and be willing to change electrodes when the job calls for it...and sometimes even in the middle of doing the same job.
Do you get the picture yet? Welding aluminum is just plain harder because everything matters more.

Welding Electrode Control - I Help You to Learn How to Manipulate Your Welding Rods
Don't worry too much about how your welds look at first:
* While you're improving electrode control, you'll be learning more about different welding job situations.
* Plus I'll tell you WHY it's important to have good rod control.
* After you read these tips, THEN you can practice your welding rod control techniques.
* Whether you swing a golf club or a bat, if you don't practice in correct ways, the results can be at least EMBARRASSING!
Let's talk about arc pressure and gravity:
1) Arc pressure is produced by the voltage from the machine as it's pushing the molten metal outwardly.
2) The pressure will vary depending on machine settings, rod size, & the amount of arc gap.
3) Gravity not only effects the direction of the molten metal, but also it's going to try to make your puddle drip.
4) If you're arc welding in a flat position, you mainly just worry about keeping the rod at right angles to the work-pieces, & tilted away from the puddle, to help control the puddle & the slag. (And that will help you to SEE THE PUDDLE!).
5) If you're going to weld in a vertical position, you need to aim the arc up-ward to preheat the metal & to help keep the puddle from dripping.
6) At the same time, in vertical welding, you no longer need to worry about slag, because gravity is keeping it out of the way.
7) For horizontal positions it's a lot the same. Gravity will try to drip the weld, so you aim the arc upwardly.
For overhead jobs you keep the rod nearly straight up for the same reasons. You don't want to do any weaving in overhead welding, instead just use straight "stringer" beads.
Pipe welding:
* Pipe welding is rather unique, in that it involves all positions as you go around it. You will gain real electrode control experience in pipe welding!
* Horizontal welding on pipe can be tricky too, because you need to keep changing the rod angle as you go around.
* Save overhead welding practice for last. Get used to ELECTRODE CONTROL & amp settings in the easier welding positions first.
General tips:
* Learn to keep the arc length as steady as possible, plus keep the rod angle steady.
* Weld in a straight a line. This helps to give your welds to look better, and to give them more strength.
* Use both hands to steady the rod. Either place both hands on the rod holder, or one hand on the rod itself, until it gets too short (or until the rod gets too hot).
* Work on a steady speed to keep a uniform puddle shape. An oval shape is good, but don't let it get too pointed. A round shape may be too wide, unless you need a wider or heavier bead for the job you're doing. You'll soon be able to judge that your welding speed is right for the job size & situation.
* Finding a good amperage setting for the job at hand, will help you to concentrate on getting a good weld, & not be fighting sticking rods, or having the rod burn through the work-piece.
* Learn to hesitate slightly at the start of your welds to ensure that the "puddle" forms sufficiently.
* Also pause a bit, at each side of the bead, when you're doing a weave weld, to make sure there is good penetration.
REMEMBER, Don't worry too much about how your welds look at first! Now start practicing!
About the Author
I started working as a Journey-level welder for Weyerheauser Timber Company more than 20 years ago. That was the same year that I became a certified welder in Washington State. I weld today because it's cool & interesting! If you can DREAM it, you can probably WELD it!
My website: http://www.arc-welding-and-beyond.com
The purpose of my website is to educate the beginning welder in ALL RELATED skill areas of welding: running great beads, designing, preparing, layout, finishing, & troubleshooting problems.
"Welding is more than just running beads!"
i was told to try using a drag rod for a pretty basic welding rod. what is a drag rod and what is it used for?
Drag rod refers to stick welding...it is the general direction you move the rod unless you are welding vertical up or overhead. 6013, 7014, or 7024 rod is a general welding rod used for mild steel. You DO NOT feed into the weld with a stick welder....you pull the rod gently away using a slight side to side movement. Everyone has to pretty much develope a movement that works for them but with practice it will come to you.
