thats the problem when you try to make a traduction, in spanish in not make difference between soldering and welding you always write welding to the action to join two pieces in a process with heat
-
puerto ricans dont know the difference please forgive them

@atlisor2 Those are only arc welding applications, even if this is soldering or brazing, welding is not limited to the major 4 arc welding applications. I've welded using a blacksmith's forge plenty of times, and that's a type of welding as well, no arc, no gas.

if anyone wants to know this video is stolen from w w w . aluminumrepair . c o m its called HTS-2000 and it is brazing

i've tried that so many times and this guys makes it look so easy! Yes, it's not actual welding but sometimes this kind of job is needed for repairing plates of aluminum (body work). Excellent in deed.

I've used this stuff, well, harbor freight alumaweld but that's the same stuff, to solder up some intake piping on my car. This stuff is decent if you don't have the tools or skill to do GTAW or GMAW welding, but if you can use those two practices. This stuff has no modulus of elasticity, thus it will snap without warning. I don't use it on anything structural.
It's also a pain in the ass to clean up, it's so much harder than the base AL that you have to be super careful filing it down.

Now try that with a TIG and show us You got balls :D

Good way to lose a finger. Putting anything like that in a drill press is way dangerous. Even for demonstration. Nice soldering job.

@AAAxboxclan with that definition you really streaching the definition of welding, and you are corect, this is absolutly closer to "brasing" then welding, in welding you melt the base metal (the can) and add metal to the molten pool of base metal. In this video you didnt melt the can you nearly heated it up to the temperature in whitch the soder melted enuff for it to become fluid.
