Control Arms

Each process has its place . If you think your going to weld a intake manifold ,intercooler or 16gauge piping with a spoolgun and end up with the same product now thats a false statement !

I guarantee you you could with enough practice. You could do it with an acetylene torch and get the same results with the proper flux and control.

Stop saying things are impossible just because they are hard.

Aluminum is harder to weld than steel. It tends to go from solid to mush quickly and doesn't change color much unlike steel.

I'm telling you as someone who is certified on 1/4" aluminum and stainless in TIG that even as a certified welder, I still find it difficult to weld aluminum for _structural_ purposes. It's just damn hard to tell what kind of penetration you're getting without an x-ray or seeing the other side of the material.

It's easier to weld aluminum with TIG than anything else, again because there's more control over the heat, and that gives you a big advantage when welding aluminum.

But it's still possible to do it just as effectively with another process. With MIG, you'd have to have a big machine to do what you're challenging me to do, but it could be done.

Unless you're just telling me there wouldn't be room to fit the spoolgun in the required space, which is a possibility. But otherwise, it's doable.
