By Derek Odom. The first thing necessary for stick welding on aluminum is to have a machine capable of DC (direct current) polarity, and it must be capable of putting out at least 200 amps. If your welder meets these guidelines, you are in business. If you have a 120-volt, 140-amp machine, for instance, there is no way it will ever weld on aluminum.
Some advantages of stick welding are: Very portable, welder needs only to carry leads anywhere the weld needs to be done. Equipment is affordable. Can be used in all positions, and be used indoors our outside as wind doesn't usually affect weld pool. Some disadvantages of stick welding are: 1  Only a few inches at a time can be welded before another electrode is needed. 2  Electrode ends (butts) are wasted. 3  High level of skill needed to produce sound welds. 4  Many electrodes have low penetration. 5  Arc blow can occur with direct current. more information...
