Good Morning
I want to build a Aluminium space frame for an air cushion vechicle.
I imagine the space frame is going to be max 6mm aluminium tubing
probably some smaller wall thickness welding needed as well.
What's the options for a welder for this type of work.
I've done a lot of mild steel stick welding in the past but have never
used mig or tig type.
I'm on a bit of a budjet.
I've got a 140 amp brocken mig welder but it needs repairing, I got it from a scrap yard and the cables were missing. The metal film diodes were blown and I've replaced them with stud diodes , it's got an output volatge now. I put a pair of 100amp studes in, I don't know how the duty cycle or max current capability will be, and if it's worth bying new leads etc and fixing or not.
Some advise would be greatfully recievied
Thanks
