Yes the ear can be tig welded back on...
You dont need to weld it in a cabinet, you need pure argon shielding gas, no real need for helium as that makes a hotter arc.. mag melts at a relatively low temp.. A suitable filler rod, and LOTS of preheat!! Magnesuim transfers heat so well that its hard to keep the heat in the kernel where you want it. Preheat in an oven, or with direct heat to aboutt 500 deg F then have at it.. nuther problem its a casting, you may have issues with contaminants.. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!! or buy another housing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/givemebeer.gif) fell off the wagon LOL |
