Hi there, i have a bit of experience with mig welding (bought a portamig 215 about 4 years ago after getting some great advice on here)
i am an auto trimmer and in the process of doing flat bottom conversions a section of the aluminium rim needs cutting out, straightening and welding back on, the ali does not look of great quality.
I tried those burner torch ali welding rods bt the heat required to put into the rim of the wheel to get the rods to melt seems to melt the wheel rim !!! so i thought about welding them together
i undersand you can mig ali together but i would of thought a little tig setup would be better
does anyone have any advice or ideas for a total tig newbie
thank you
