GMAW (MIG) - Gas metal arc welding of aluminum is done using DC reverse polarity (electrode positive). Argon shielding gas is suggested for plate thickness of �� or less. For plate thickness of greater than 1�, argon/helium mixtures should be considered.

1/16"	160 - 360	24 - 30	180 - 300
3/64"	130 - 290	22 - 28	235 - 375
0.035"	110 - 220	22 - 28	350 - 475

0.025"	85 - 180	20 - 26	520 - 750

GTAW (TIG) - For manual AC welding, argon is generally preferred because the arc has good stability. On heavier sections, the addition of helium may be considered, and arc penetration will increase significantly; however, gas flow rates must be increased when helium is added.
