<font color=blue>Do you think preheat and postheat are still needed with the wire welder? </font color=blue>
Any type of heat treatment is going to depend upon how thick the base metal is. If it thin gauge tubing then you would probably be okay without a preheat or postweld heat treatment. Of course this assue that the ambient temperature is not below freezing. If it real cold then preheat would be required.
