Subject: Re: Anyone good at aluminum welding and fill? by joeld on 2010/3/21 15:05:03 A "good" welder can do this if they have a TIG machine. A TIG machine is much better than trying this with a MIG machine using aluminum wire. Reason being the heat is controlled in a more precise manner with a TIG. Warpage can be kept to a minimum or even none by stitch welding and just going slow to avoid heat build-up. As far as re-polishing, the area around the weld will not look exactly the same as the rest. Simply because the "filler" material is slightly different. I don't think most people will be able to see any big difference after final polish IMO. Epoxy will not polish, so I wouldn't advise that. Good luck Joel |
