AC wave balance
When use AC TIG welding for aluminum, the clean strength of the arc negative can be adjusted
through the clean width knob.
The relationship between the knob set position of clean width knob, welding performance and
tungsten consumption is as below:
Note: Although the rated duty cycle of the machine is 35%, when use AC TIG welding, if the
clean width set to “narrow” position, please use the machine under 35% duty cycle.
Exchange frequency and DC rate
When use TIG welding for aluminum, use AC and DC together can ensure the clean width as
well as reduce the tungsten burnt.
