6061 T6 Aluminum Welding Setup
I am welding small bicycle frames for small kids. This is the setup that I started learning with. With constant struggles with my machine I decided I should reconsider my setup and what I am using.
MACHINE:
Miller Diversion 165
CURRENTLY USING:
Material: 6061 T6
Wall Thickness: .049
Tungsten: = 3/32" 1.5% Lanthanated (Gold Tip)
Filler: 3/32 ER 5356
What setup do you think would be best?

I'm not sure what kind of problems you're running into, but the miller is a good unit. You might try asking over Weld Talk Message Board and Online Forum - Hobart Welders They know a lot about whats what and can help you out.
