Don't know what type of welder you have. But You can get .023" rollers for a Miller 250.

Well that's pretty. And they may have reasons for doing that. But try to get a drag race chassis certified that's been put together like that.

I'm out.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Why? Tig welding would be faster and stronger.

Eastwood elite 250 MPI, thier newest and most powerful at 250 amps/ 60%duty cycle. For the money, 1400$, i consider it a nice unit. Has Mig, Tig, stick, no scratch start. But it would be nice to have the Tig option for aluminum. They do sell a spool gun for $209.00 though. Also another nice option would be a pulse weld feature for things like headers, etc

Been said here many times. Silicon bronze rod or wire is used to braze metal. It is anot a strong weld joint at all since the brazing process is not meltng base metal.

Since we like youtube here ya go. Nice visual explanation.

Al, thanks for posting the video. It confirmed my thoughts on how strong the SiBr would be.
