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.
  I can tell you if a magnet sticks to an item then it is steel or iron. I know this because i weld and i use a magnet to decide what i can weld and what i can't. Aluminum â¦ is not magnetic. You can tell aluminum by it's dull silver color or it can be highly polished.You can also tell by the weight. I know even less about bronze but i think it would be a heavy metal and often darker and brownish color. Brass will be a lighter weight and a higher shine and more of a goldish color. Copper well....it looks like the color of a penny. That's assuming it's not metal that's painted or something.
