By selecting TIG AC welding mode  

you may weld 

aluminum, aluminum alloys, brass and  magnesium, while 
selecting   TIG DC              allows you to weld steels, 
stainless steel, iron and copper.  
This  welding machine  is  a  direct and  alternating  current 
power source built using INVERTER technology, designed to 
weld covered electrodes (not including cellulosic) and for TIG 
procedures, with contact  starting and high frequency
