Hi,
Sorry to regurgitate a much-asked question, but would like some definitive replies please!
I have a mild steel V-band I turned, which I want to weld to my cast steel turbo exhaust housing.
Have a TIG welder
A15 filler
Gas blowtorch
- Heat the housing, will have to get an IR thermometer first
- Seen nickel rod recommended a lot but it's bloody expensive and couldn't find it as just a few rods. Plus they were for stainless to cast usually. So is the steel filler ok?
- Cooling, provided I get there okay, in air? In sand? In the oven?
Thanks
