Thanks for finding that site Franz.

I think my potential for successfully welding aluminum, with my mig set, just went up.

I liked the idea, in the article on aluminum, of placing steel behind thin aluminum sheet to help control the heat. Can't wait to get a chance to try it.

Copper bars work a lot better than steel in this application.

Nice site Franz,

When I worked for GE Medical back in the 80's they used copper for steel and steel for aluminum, actually worked good.
