I intend to bring my type 4 cases somewhere to get welded.

What is the best method to weld a case?

Tig, mig, other high tech method?

Having recently needed Tig welding done on CIS aluminum intake arms, the key was to ultrasonically clean the aluminum. Any fuel or oil vapor will poison the weld. We had a little learning curve on how to get all the years of fuel impregnation out of the arms. Once they were "clean" they Tigged up nice.
