crumbs thats a lot of current for that. what welder are you using its not a Chinese one is it?

on the sump for my saab engine it was 4mm thick cast and it welded up lovely using around 90-100 amps, can never know exactly as i just give it more pedal if i need it. cast ali is always a strange thing to weld some times it melts like butter and other times it is a pain to get heat into, just depends on the composition.
