Instructor: Ethan Labowitz

Class Description:

Aluminum is magical stuff--lightweight, strong, easy to machine, and it doesn't rust! But welding it can be tough, because it behaves differently from steel. Take this class to gain the confidence and experience to start welding aluminum on your own.

This class is an introduction to the wide world of aluminum TIG and the unique challenges of the material, taught by a welding engineer with a decade of technical welding experience. We'll cover some pretty technical welding theory, because aluminum presents some interesting technical challenges.
