I was doing some "welding" last night, well, technically brazing using silicone bronze and the TIG machine.
Thought some here might find it interesting.
I work with a Xmsn shop that does a lot of high end and specialty stuff and one thing they make is performance converters, one of the steps in that is securing the little fins with silicone bronze (which is where I come in)
We do it with the TIG, and flow a drop of bronze around each fin attach point, (well technically we leave off one row)
That means I get to do 211 joints to keep my tig hand steady
Of course, I make $10 per unit so I make what 4.7 cents per weld............ Man, I am making money now
So anyway, it was just something I do a little different, and thought others may have some interest in it. It is not your run of the mill tractor welding project though.
