LAYING DIMES
There comes a time in all car builds when you need to join two pieces of metal together. Having the ability to pick up a welding torch and do it yourself is a must-have skill for any serious car builder. While we’d say that MIG welding is the gateway to welding, it’s tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, also known as ‘gas tungsten arc welding’ (GTAW), that produces cleaner, more precise welds on almost any metal; plus, the weld pool can be easily manipulated, making it the ideal choice in automotive fabrication: mild steel, high-tensile steels, stainless steels of all grades, nickel-chrome alloys, Monel-nickel-copper alloys, Inconel, titanium, aluminium, magnesium, brass, bronze, copper, and many space-age metals. Gold can be TIG welded. You can even weld dissimilar metals: copper to brass, stainless steel to mild steel, stainless steel to copper.
