i would like to see some pics of peoples work with aluminum. or just your aluminum welds in general
thanks

 

I'll bite!

Some aluminum end tanks I made last week!

3.5" Setrab core, 6061-T6 1/8" sheet, 4043 3/32" rod ...

 

are those setrab cores good? comparable to a pwr or spearco or something?

-M@

 

I don't have enough first hand experience to really say, but they're "supposed" to be up there with Bell and Spearco.

 

hey thanks man! keep them coming!!! what thickness aluminum did you use for the end tanks?

 

looks like 1/8"

 

thats what it looks like. just wanted to know

 

bell 18x9x4.5 i think, 1/8th plate, 3/32 filler. bent everything in a vice, need to work on starts and stops or just not stopping (my torch is way too small and gets too hot to hold so i have to stop often) and holding my hands steady, something ive never been able to do really. this camera sucks and wont take a close up. im no pro by any means but when i put my mind to it i dont do a half bad job.



and you can see a shitty start/stop there, dunno if i dipped there or what it was a few months ago, no pics of recent stuff.

 

looks nice! keep them coming!

 

Tank to header welds on a radiator I made a while ago, 1.6mm filler, 2.4mm zirconiated tungsten.

YaYA go the kiwi's!!! ^^^^^

 

very nice! more more more!

 

nice welds guys! engloid where are you! post up some of your work as some of the other great welders on this board,come on guys post up.

 

Nice welds guys!

 

More recent stuff...

 

dude love the polished welds! is your welding table aluminum? any more pics?

 

nah, the top one is a sheet of 20g steel that someone left on the frame jig and the other one is a scrap of aluminum I had on a stand by the polishing stuff. The actual welding table is a piece of 1 1/2" steel with a milled top.

 

nice welds man! what welder do you use?

 

very nice man. keep up the good work!

 

Bailhatch, SICK welds!

How much for one of those expansion tanks BTW? In case I don't get good enough at aluminum by the time I need one lol

 

Thanks, but realize those are my best welds. I don't think I have anymore aluminum that isn't all scratched up, sorry.

 

Right on, if I suck out I have no problem sending you stuff or getting scratched stuff. I paint mostly everything anyways.

What welder are you using?

 

Bail, that reservoir is really slick. Nice consistent welds on there! I love the look of clean aluminum with nice welds and even cleaning everywhere.

 

anyone else?

 

heres an intake i made for my hoe.........
