aircobra Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 couple of the uprights are damaged it looks like a u-channel 0.5mm folded ali section with slots cut out my understanding is that a normal mig setup won't do ali has anyone tried making new set?

Administrators gav240z Posted August 1, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2016 MIG yeah, not great on thin alloy... I just picked up this torch. (not the 1 in the help wanted post itself, but the same torch this weekend). http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/15099-north-brisbane-pick-up-item-collect-and-favour/ Apparently the DHC 2000 / Dillon Mark III / Henrob can do alloy welding. I will be testing it out soon I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1600dave Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yep, the DHC 2000, etc, will do aluminium no worries. I've done everything from thin sheet up to a cut'n'shut gearbox bellhousing with it. You will need flux, and I would suggest a good set of lenses / glasses specifically made for aluminium welding, otherwise the orange "flare" from burning flux makes it very difficult to see the weld puddle. I got a pair of these, they work great : http://shop.cobratorches.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=45&product_id=61 Sorry, a little off topic..... gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
