HiI might have to do that: Weld some (hopefully many) brass cases for RFshielding.Now I could do that with OA or a TIG. I would have to lend that TIG (DConly).But I have never welded brass before. Neither with OA nor TIG. Is thatdifficult (not a welding newbie at all). Can I simply use some brassrod? 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 aheat 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 itwon't be much fun (regarding the size and the pieces fixing and fallingapart. All that with tight tolerances).Nick
