Subject: Re: Anyone good at aluminum welding and fill? by CorvetteBob on 2010/3/21 6:05:50 Having had a bit of weld-up work done, I'm not sure it'll come out like you want. That's a nicely polished piece and it'll turn color where the heat gets used. The slots wont just fill in nicely, but rather a skilled welder will need to spend some time to get it filled in right so it can then be worked back down for polish. That being done, it'll need to be milled across the bottom to remove any warpage that occurs during welding. Drilling the new hole pattern comes next. Last but not least, it can then be polished back to perfection. Unfortunately, that's what happens to castings when you weld on the machined mating surfaces. |
