WelderSkills Aluminum Bead ...
Here is my settings I forgot to add tungsten and cup size. 1/8 2% lanthanated with a #8 gas lens 24cfm 1/8 4043 filler and I’m not sure on the aluminum I ordered it from Brad because I don’t keep a lot of aluminum at my shop because I don’t weld it a lot. I used a pedal as well. 170 was the top of my range.

This was fun. Can’t wait to see what the next one is.
It looks like I got the balance setting reversed. Mike Murphy
