Hi guys just joined up looking for some help.
I’m completely new to welding I’m trying to build a aluminium tube radiator from scratch as a little hobby.
Im going to use 50mm x 50mm square aluminium tube and I’d cap the ends with a piece of square aluminium and weld the edges to seal it shut.
the tank connector would be inside the cap I weld on. I figure I can’t use a rubber grommet as the heat generated from welding the cap on would destroy the rubber grommet?
Do you guys have any advice on how I can achieve this?
my current plan would be to weld the tank connector directly to the aluminium cap but it is made of brass and I’ve read that there are issues with welding brass to aluminium?
thanks for any input you guys have
