Last week Jez and I took a welding class. The class was TIG welding but was an introductory course that mainly focused on the techniques of TIG welding. It was very informative, but did not give much information on welding aluminum. over the weekend, I studied how to work with aluminum. We went back on Monday and started playing with different settings on the welder on different thicknesses of aluminum. We went ahead and purchased our own 4043 filler aluminum and 98% tungsten tips.
We are making progress on our welding abilities, but it is mainly been an uphill battle. Our deadline is getting closer and closer. At this time we are looking at alternatives to attaching the brackets like bolts or aluminum based adhesives.
