You've obviously never tied to seam weld 3mm alloy with a mig nicely
How about a flat pack and some beers for a perky @veitnamcam ?![]()

I dont really want tocant really perk after hours cos gotta get home so wife can go to work and weekends is kids or hunting.
step one, buy a cheap arse mig and a bottle of argon.
step two, buy a roll of 1.2mm alloy wire(might get away with 1.0 mm but will have to be real carefull to keep the lead fairly straight)
step three stick it together and practice on some scraps.
step four weld the bugger up.
I do 90% of our alloy mig welding with a cheap 180?amp single phase mig welder. got to be a wee bit carfull to keep the lead straightish not having a pull hand peice but its all good, only get the miller pulse pushmepullyou big clumsy prick of a thing out when I have to.

I just got a little 150 amp mig from repco. Its got a plastic liner and says ok for 1.6 too 3mm ali so i will hav a wack at it and report back.
Ali is soft. Using the V groove rollers will put "ears" along the wire and will constantly jam. Knurled rollers are for gasless wire. Straight Argon, not mixed or CO2. S/S wire brush, not mild steel as it will contaminate the ali with iron oxides
I used to sell the gear. VC will tell you the realities of the processs
Why did I get tag from this ancient post today @Spanners ?
