Is it possible to weld a new or different bellhousing on a transmission?
And if so how? |

It is possible to weld magnesium. Powdered magnesium or magnesium shavings burn quite nicely, but solid magnesium is relatively inflammable.
Welding magnesium is difficult because it has a low melting point and distorts easily (sort of like aluminum, but more so), but with the proper filler material, the right equipment, and loads of experience it can be done. Check around, maybe you can find someone willing to give it a go. |
