Does anyone have insight into aluminum welding? I have done some TIG welding inthe past but I don't own one. In the Nov 2002 Sport Aviation Page 106, thereis an article on building fuel tanks and it refers to gas welding of tanks.Also in the August 2002 issue of Custom Planes there is an article about Hydrogen/ Oxy welding.I went to a good sized welding supply house for info but no one had any experiencewith gas welding on aluminum.The big question - Does anyone have information about Oxy / aceteline welding?I don't want to buy a Hydrogen tank, I would rather put the money into a TIGunit with ArgonDick N.________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: weldingDick,A large percentage of all aluminum welding was done with a torch during WW II. You will have to use hydrogen because it burns clean. You will also need a good flux to do it right. During WW II several fluxes were developed for this purpose. I now of only one resource, the guy is nick named the tin man, I saw his both at sun & fun a few years ago. He runs a few adds in Kitplanes, he also has some videos and books out too. I will try and look up his adds, it real neat stuff that he does. I saw him weld and of course it looked real easy, but he did it all with a torch. It looked better than any tig weld I have seen.Sorry I can't remember, but it does seem his company name started with TM technologies or something.I will look, or maybe someone else will know who I am talking about that reads this.Dan________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 00:17:04 -0800
