Aluminum’s unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, rapid heat dissipation, and its persistent oxide layer, mean ...

Welding. There’s something almost supernatural about being able to melt metal and use it to glue other pieces of metal together. It’s an experience you must have if you’ve never done it before.

In the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process, an electric arc is struck between a refractory electrode made of tungsten and the work piece, while a shroud of inert gas, usually argon, shields the ...

01]Set the flow of pure argon shielding gas to 16 to 18 cubic feet per hour (CFH) for aluminum that's up to 0.500 inch thick. A percentage of helium can be added for thicker aluminum parts to increase ...

When I first started tinkering with cars, one of the first big hurdles was how to complete certain tasks without the ability to weld. Shaving trim holes, repairing rusty panels, or fabricating custom ...
