Where to find thick walled aluminum tube???
Ok, so we ALL have had to weld a cast aluminum elbow to a turbo compressor at some point. Well this time I have been asked to asked to weld a 3" STRAIGHT section onto a compressor. I will have the ID and OD in a day or two. But, can anyone direct me where to find this thick walled aluminum tube? I am failing!
