welding aluminum.

[shadow]

I thought I would get a welder to put some piping together... unfortunately I borrowed a flux core gasless welder. I bought some aluminum pipe for a new intercooler thinking I would be able to weld it.. I quickly learned how to blase holes and scorch aluminum.

I was wondering for welding aluminum what is the best way to go for lets say.. errrm under 600.

Thanks for any input.

Pre fit your pipes, and take the to a welding shop for welding, you will not be able to buy anything that will do a decent job for that kind of money..maxt

Who in town can weld aluminum for me?

I just need the inlet/outlet relocated on my intercooler.

AeroTech is great, but pricey. You get some damn fine welds fer' yer' money tho. I have a few friends that weld AL but no one that does a great job...lol

Take it to any welding shop. I could do it for you if someone has a tig welder I can use. If you can wait 3 months I will do it for you. Or if you want to use mandrel bent steel pipes I will weld them up for you as soon as you want.
