welding copper

[Mathius]

Any body know any thing about welding copper? should I TIG or gas weld? nothing seriously structural but I don’t want the welds to crack under high vibration

what should i use for filler rod? Can i use a thin strip of the metal I’m working with and weld it with a oxy torch? I plan on planishing the welds flat

I don't know much about welding copper. It burns at a very low temperature and is a very soft metal. I do know that you can solder it, which means you can probably braze it as well, provided the material is thick enough.

Perhaps it would be helpful if you let us know more about what thickness of material you are welding and what you're looking to do more specifically?
