Understanding how to successfully weld aluminum becomes the tricky part, as it is not the easiest material to work with. The process as a whole has its challenges, from preparation and correct welding techniques to specific equipment that should be used to help your operation run smoothly. For this reason, aluminum requires specific consumables to ensure your welding jobs are completed with minimal issues and ease. In this blog, we will break down the necessary consumables needed to properly weld aluminum.

But robotic welding cells and the torch itself is only as good as what you surround it with. Beyond talented personnel, there are tools every welding robot and robotic torch could use to make automated welding a more effective and efficient process.

We all know what it is, but just for a quick refresh:  Duty cycle is a rating measurement of 10 minute increments using CO2 gas.  So, if we take a 350 amp gun as an example – that means at it’s maximum it can weld 10 minutes at 350 amps with a constant current using CO2 gas.  [More](https://blog.binzel-abicor.com/usa/air-cooled-vs.-water-cooled-mig-guns) ![](https://blog.binzel-abicor.com/hubfs/ABICORBINZEL%20-Dec2016/Images/arrow_right.gif) Comments: 7 - [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.binzel-abicor.com/usa/air-cooled-vs.-water-cooled-mig-guns#comments-listing) Topics: [MIG Guns & Torches](https://blog.binzel-abicor.com/usa/topic/mig-guns-torches) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.binzel-abicor.com/hubfs/Blog/Blog%20Banners/WhichAntiSpatterisRight.jpg)](https://blog.binzel-abicor.com/usa/which-anti-spatter-is-right-for-me) ## [Which Welding Anti-Spatter is Right for Me?](https://blog.binzel-abicor.com/usa/which-anti-spatter-is-right-for-me) Posted by [Dustin Gordon](https://blog.binzel-abicor.com/usa/author/dustin-gordon) on Mar 1, 2017, 8:42:37 AM Nozzle Dip, Aerosol Cans, Spray Bottles, Buckets, 55 gallon drums, Red, Blue, Green….  the options are endless in trying to determine what sort of anti-spatter to use.
