[NSRCA-discussion] YS-160 round 1...ding, ding

Metal Inert Gas - don't even think about it! The heat will kill it! Take it
down to your local jewelry shop and have an expert silver solder or braze
it.

Troy and all,

That's fantastic information. If only I knew what MIG welding is.

Adrian,

Mig Welding might work...I don't know...I always thought that MIG
welding was for aluminum and Steel...like thin sheets or
tubing...Stainless steel sinks and the likes are MIG welded. While I
think MIG welding would work on a  Header if you were good enough to do
it, I don't think MIG is what you would use to put the Brass insert back
into an Aluminum casting. The only thing you might be able to do is
create a small mechanical stop as you melted the MIG "wire" over the top
of the brass fitting. The weld would not penetrate down into the joint
between the brass Injector Tube and the Aluminum head. Also MIG is very
critical on having the surfaces clean and dry. It if difficult to get
down in a hole that is about 1/8" diameter and clean it.

I know there are some welder types out there. I'm not a smart guy on
welding. I just know that there are different processes needed when the
metals are different types. If it was Aluminum to Aluminum then I think
MIG would work...but I don't think it's the best for that situation...I
think Mig is used when you are building a Bead on the external surface.
Not trying to get material into a recessed hole. I would think a Sweat
joint like a plumber uses  on copper pipe would be a better situation.
The Filler rod or solder or what ever would penetrate the joint down
into the recess and make a mechanical connection down in the hole.
Welding a small bead over the top of the brass nipple with a  MIG welder
may hold for a while but I think it would fail in short order...

Sorry just not enough welding info in my brain.

Troy

Oh, no, instead of JB Weld, I mig welded mine, is that OK?

and go from there. Worst case is eventually we'll plug the line right
into the head.
