Hi
I might have to do that: Weld some (hopefully many) brass cases for RF shielding. Now I could do that with OA or a TIG. I would have to lend that TIG (DC only).
But I have never welded brass before. Neither with OA nor TIG. Is that difficult (not a welding newbie at all). Can I simply use some brass rod? Or will the Pb in it (most have) make problems?
The case will be 200 * 100 * 80 mm and 5mm thick. I fear it is more a heat sink than a piece of cake. How much amps would be enough for TIGing (if that is the way to go)?
Yes, I will make the prototype it with silver soldering, but I guess it won't be much fun (regarding the size and the pieces fixing and falling apart. All that with tight tolerances).
