What happens here

The creator details his previous struggles with the Fronius TIG welder, which was not producing quality welds. He discovered the issue was related to the frequency setting. The welder had been set to 60Hz, which is typically too low for optimal aluminum TIG welding. After a quick online search (Googling), he found that the typical range for aluminum welding frequency is between 120Hz and 200Hz. Adjusting the welder to 120Hz immediately improved the weld quality, demonstrating the impact of proper machine settings. He then finishes tack welding the remainder of the downpipe assembly. This is an important step to ensure the entire structure holds its shape before full welding.

Goal: Optimize welder settings for aluminum and complete tack welding of the downpipe.

and this stuff is super thick stuff really thick stuff still lighter than steel and no before you let go just use titanium well wolf doesn't make titanium so i'm not going to spend the money on titanium i find aluminum easy to work with just because with the the chop saw method there's no cleanup really you just take the d-bird tool and just and that's it it's quick it's easy it doesn't make a huge mess i mean it makes
