[QUOTE="Jeffscarstrucks, post: 10302, member: 1245"] You are correct in using straight argon for AL welding. You must also clean your work very well before welding and "push" the gun rather than pull it. You will find that your travel speed will be faster than you would use with steel and that wire speed is also considerably faster as well. Al can be tricky to get started with when you are setting up a new machine but it is not really any harder...just different.Good Luck, JEFF P.S. The Miller web site has a forum that you can search much like this one at Millerwelds.com then motorsports then "Ask Andy" forum. It is called a motorsports forum but it has really been a welding forum for the years that I have been there. Lately there have been some off topic dopes show up on there but overall it is a very good source of general info as well as some very job specific info. There are a few big equipment repair guys over there who have shown some step by step repairs on some REALLY big stuff. [/QUOTE]
