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!

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

This video is very well presented and I have never seen the inside shots before...very nice. I noticed that you do not quite entirely fill the bevel on either side of the weld. In a real application would this be acceptable? Would it reduce the strength of whatever gauge wall thickness you originally had? Thank you.
