George - thanks for looking. That article is about the frequency of the 
current that provides the power for welding aluminum. Apparantly aluminum 
can't be effectively welded with a dc current as is the case with steel.
   My present understanding for tig welding of steel is that a high 
frequency low powered "starter" current establishes a low resistance 
pathway for a high amperage dc current. It is this starter current that's 
of interest and not the high amperage ac current used with aluminum.
