somebody said that you could weld them together. I forgot what the term was called for that particular type of weld though. Maybe some of H-T's welders know what I'm talking about?

How can you braze it?
The aluminum has melted long before you get the steel hot enough for the bronze brazing rod to bond on the molecular level.
The way you affix aluminum and steel together properly is with a fastener. Bolt, pop rivet, etc.

in zero gravity, and under water its possible. Ive seen the result its crazy looking. Supposedly really strong too, but expect to pay about 5000$ for 1 bead.

It can be done with a mig welder but it will be weak but should be good enough to hold the boost, I really dont recommend it unless you are really comfatable.
TIP(heat the steel a little bit before you weld them) Brazing should be ok.
But for the record I dont recommend it.

JBweld should work out ok, but usually the results are not pretty.

Re: Would you be able to weld...?? (dumbkid)
what about steel and cast iron?
Unfortunately, cast iron's welds are extremely brittle which is where the "you can't weld cast" myth sprung up. AS LONG AS IT IS NOT A LOAD BEARING WELD then welded cast iron will last forever. As soon as you stress it... it will eventually fail.

UBERTEG: It takes a very good welder to be able to do it right. I've seen "professional" welders faulter on welding aluminum. I know someone that can weld the two, but he won't do it often.

I know somebody had to know their sh!te out there. It's nt recommended though because of the different expansion rates, and that whole electrolosis thing going on. Not to mention the filler would cause some distortions in the weld under high heat.
