I am relatively new to welding, and doing ok, main problem is being tidy. I weld for work and we don't have a lot to weld much, only occasionally. However we on occasion could use an ali weld, they are never structural, handles and joints that aren't put under huge amounts of pressure. I have read the tutorial on how to weld other metals there are other questions though.
Is it possible to really damage the welder? I would have to practice on the welder at work and need to know how not to completely destroy it! Does an ali weld need heat treatment? What is this would i be able to do this myself? Just how strong is this kind of ali weld? Can anyone give me any further advice at all? Are there any alternative methods that are as strong and don't require the purchase of costly equipment?
Thanks in advance.
