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.

Aluminum Welding is by far the best practice for Tig Welding. Get better at tig welding by practicing stacking beads on 11 ga aluminum sheet metal
