Magnesuim Welding?

[1972_911t]

Does anyone know of anyone who can weld cast magnesium alloy? I have some magnesium throttle bodies in need of repair and cannot find anyone locally who can do mag alloy.

Thanks Steve

I've found Mag I have welded yonks ago was never very successful. Goes all blue and pasty, however, there may be other who will say different?

I'd give this guy a call:
http://www.alloywheelrepairs.com/


It's a guy named Ian Jemison (based in York), who I knew a few years ago, and he could repair all sorts of stuff (including magnesium alloy wheels).

If he can't, he may well know someone who can.
