I recall torch welding aluminum at Sun 'n" Fun five years ago with a gas other than Oxy-Acetylene... I believe it was argon gas..... and an argon-helium mixture.

I have sat in some of his forums at Oshkosh in years past. He showed where all the old world war 2 airplane fuel tanks were gas welded. I do not remember if they were welded, brazed, or a combination of the two, but this guy will know for sure.

I have my fears about welding aluminum myself but know that I can braze it easily enough with silver bearing braze compound. Thanks.
