QUOTE(nsyr @ Oct 10 2004, 01:37 PM) Anyone have experience with this? What to use... the expert services of a certified welder, i'd think ... probably one who has a cabinet that can be flooded with inert gas. i've seen some excellent magnesium welds. i think is requires at least TIG with a really, really good shielding gas; i have no idea what kind. it can be done, but you might want to price a replacement endpiece just as a backup plan - might be a better deal ... |
