14d • TIG-Welding
Movie prop
This is an aluminum project I just finished up. It will be part of a movie prop that will go inside an animatronic lion, to be used in a Bollywood movie. For never having welded an aluminum joint before, I think it went okay. I had more issues drilling the holes than I did with the welding portion. Everything is all 1/8" wall so that worked in my favor too. I was shooting 150-160 amps, 20CFH of argon, 3/32 tungsten in a water-cooled torch with 6 seconds of post-flow. I can see aluminum getting pretty fun with some practice; puddle is so easy to see, like watching a big screen tv.
