There hasn't been much discussed in the way of welding aluminium... I have a Fema 160amp MIG welder which is my first welder and have completed a number of projects with it, mostly for the workshop as well as some sheet metal work on my Alfas all in mild steel. The manual states I can run aluminium wire in the MIG, however I realise I won't get the welds to be near the quality of a decent AC TIG unit. But just how good will the welds be using a MIG welder? What about stainless steel in a MIG?
