Hi, I am new to the forum and would appreciate a bit of advice please.
I have a multiprocess welder that have been playing around with for the last three years or so. So far I have only used it for MIG but it has a lift TIG/2T/4T capability which I have always wanted to try.
The reasons for asking this is that I have recently MIG welded some 40 x 60 x 4mm mild steel hollow section to form a T and in the process induced 3mm of distortion in a 900mm length (the cross-part of the T). I have been told that it could be flame straightened with oxy-acetylene which I haven’t got.
Could a TIG torch be used instead to apply the necessary localised heat?
If it would work it would be a good excuse for me to buy a suitable torch.
Thanks
