Aluminum Welding requires lots of arc time in order to improve your skill. The best way I know of to get better at tig welding aluminum is to stack beads and try different welding techniques on a piece of 1/8″ .125″ or 3mm thick aluminum.

Some Aluminum Properties: thermally conductive, tendency for porosity, aluminum oxide on surface, somewhat corrosion resistant.
Things made from aluminum: aircraft structures, electrical connectors, marine hardware and boat props, bicycles, boats, aircraft parts, transmission housings, handrails, truck tool boxes.
