Welding thin aluminium
Can I ask Phil or Robin or anyone:
I am making new outer fender or wing panels for my 1950 land rover . In order to get the correct radius on the top corner I have to weld in a section, rather than make the panel in one big lump.
The metal is 18 gauge aluminium . I read that its possible and easy to mig weld thin alum. with ER 4043 wire , but it has to be .3 size wire. After googling , I found some suppliers in the USA , but none here . I can only get .9 wire here .
And, dont know how .3 wire will work in my machine , its rather thin wire , will it feed ok ?
BTW they recommend pure Argon for shielding , not CO2 mix with Argon
Mike
