You can't weld them together... but you can encase the stainless in aluminum since they melt at very different temperatures, this can be used for things like wear pads or if you want a ss bolt on an aluminum plate... you wouldn't weld them directly but instead encase the SS in aluminum weld and it holds surprisingly well
I repaired dozens of pin holes in a 1950's Crestliner aluminum boat using a buzzbox with a tig adapter. I used a long strip of 18 gauge stainless bent into an "S" shape to back up the holes as I filled them in. I had no clue what I was doing, but I knew the aluminum melted at a much lower temp than the stainless so I figured it would work. After watching this channel I've learned so much I almost wish I could go back in time and redo the boat the right way. Maybe some day I'll post all the photo's into a video as an example of how not to do a restoration.
Yeah. You can weld mozzarella, cheddar or pepperoni with a cheese stick and hot air soldering nozzle, but like with metals you can’t weld cheeses together using a pepperoni filler rod.
We need these questions. More so, we need an experienced person showing us real world situations. I did not know this, and feel much better Seeing the results as opposed to having to only be able to Read the results.
same reason icebergs are fresh water even in salty oceans. temperature changes run amok with stability of solutions. great demo, love the handed toward compatibility joint failures!
there is a process to do this it is not gtaw though. they make pots and pans with al. on bottom of stainless tops. i think it is done with explosion welding which may be more brazing then welding. but it has to stand up to tremedous forces.love the show you are an excellent welder love to watch
Ran into this issue a while back with small bore pipe. My research found that I had to use a special made transition piece (coupling). this coupling was made by explosively fusing the two materials together, then machining.
I looked all through the comments and nothing from pizza welder. Dr phill must have got hill all straightened out already. Awesome video. Learning lots from all your videos. Keep it up
Just so the viewers understand, brazing and welding are two different applications with similar practices. Welding uses fusion and penetration, where as brazing is basically the same as caulking. There are specific alloys capable of "bonding" steel and aluminum with minimal fusion that are not strictly brazing, but you are talking about materials that are almost way beyond a typical shop welder's worth that could be remedied with stainless steel bolts and a nylon spacer.
Accidentally put a few inches of er303 into an aluminum diesel tank repair. Definitely a head scratchier until I realized what wire I had in my hand lol.
I did the same thing once!! Couldn’t figure out for the life of me why I wasn’t getting a good bead. That’s hilarious to hear somebody else was scratching their head as well. Once I figured it out, it was like “duh”!!
I wish I had the means to weld aluminum or steel/stainless or even both! I could make so many awesome projects to the point I could probably start my own fabrication business. When I was in high school I took boces for auto mechanics but halfway through the year I convinced my teacher to allow me to “visit” the welding class, once in a while. I really learned allot. I made a 90cc 4speed manual go cart that first year from a Panterra 90cc pit bike. The second year I made a demonstration jet engine using a cheap $60 turbo I bought on Craigslist! I sourced all my own parts and used scraps/garbage to build my projects. I blew everybody’s mind because of how professional and well everything looked/worked, they wanted to make my projects “displays” but I declined because I was young and mostly paid out of pocket. (I probably should have donated them to the school.) Anyway I really wish I could make projects like that again but I simply don’t have the support or equipment or money.. Time I have but that doesn’t help without the money & equipment.
You can "weld" together dissimilar materials with silicon bronze. Jody did it with copper and stainless steel. I thought that's what was going to happen in this video.
you if you use silicon bronze, i do it at work i weld 6061 aluminum to a 304 stainless. but i guess when he asked with stainless or aluminum filler he was just using those
Shipyards use a special strip of material that consists of steel one side and aluminium the other for welding aluminium superstructure to steel hull. The strip is cut from thick plates of aluminium and steel that have been bonded together explosively. Not sure if friction stir welding has taken over this yet. Explosive welding is an interesting art itself, a plate of steel is laid down and an aluminium plate covered in explosive is placed at a precise angle to the steel and upon detonation the aluminium plate is progressively forced onto the steel one, it is more molecular bonding than welding.
Thank you for this comment at my job we are repairing semi trailer (I'm extremely green by the way) and I came across a piece that looked like aluminum and steel welded together and I was really confused but upon closer inspection it looks exactly like what you described
I'm wondering if it's possible to weld two different materials like that using a completely different welding technique involving weaving the two materials together relying on the mechanical connection of the welds rather than relying on them melding together into a new alloy. I'm thinking of finger like welds branching off each plate and overlapping each other on both sides, kind of like the way a left and right hand fit together with interlocking fingers.
sure. but it's easier just to cut them to some shape and fit it together then braze it or whatever. there's tri-clad which is used on some stuff, aluminum, platinum, steel.. sandwich? which are bonded together and allow each side to be different. One steel, one aluminum. then you can weld the each side to the appropriate metal
@@gg-gn3re it's funny, but since this comment, I've become well acquainted with brazing and soldering. Reading my own comment, I was like, "when did I write this?". I'm an HVAC tech now and have to braze stuff all the time. Never tried using my brazing rods on steel, but I'm sure theres some rod types that will allow steel and copper, or whatever two metals to be brazed together.
So new to welding...like today new. Could you preheat the steel so it's up to close temp so it's not taking so long to weld the two materials and holding the heat to the aluminum too long to burn through and melt it too much? If that makes sense...
I read that CMT welding can do that. Its a new technique invented in 2005. One application is the production of lightweight car bodies (e. g. newer AMG sportscars)
Yes. With Silicon-Bronze or Aluminum-Bronze. You are only melting the braze material, not the surfaces of the base metals. You only require heating the base material to the "paste range" as described in basic Metallurgy.
I just grabbed a 308L filler rod by mistake (it's late night and I'm not all there). I fed a few dabs of it into a 6061 pool and was startled by sparks and sputter that made me think I was running out of argon. After rubbing off the surface crud, I am left with a shiny spot that is seamlessly embedded into 6061, without any defects. It is so hard that it blunted a new tungsten carbide burr I attempted to excavate it with. I am beginning to imagine productive uses for this effect.
Oak is nice, and strong if the grain is aligned right. Murphy's and then linseed with a little spirits once a year with a several hours interval will keep it sound.
Believe me or not but I have actually welded aluminum to steel before. Buddy of mine and I had the idea of making a shifter for his car out of a clutch handle from a dirt bike and a steel not to thread on to the stock shifter. Tried tacking it and it broke instantly. Cranked the heat and it fully fused together for good. I also used GMAW mild steel with 90% argon 7.5% CO2 and 2.5% O2
Mr. Tig, what is your thought/ opinion about multi pass TIG Aluminum? I hear varying thoughts, and have a need to weld 1/2"- 3/4" "V" or Double"V" groove tig with a 200 amp machine. also, is anodized Aluminum weldable? do you have thoughts about using Anodized Aluminum for a Welding truck bed for lightening up the weight of the truck? I'm concerned with vibration and abrasiveness causing failure. would you consider a video tutorial? thanks
Got a question for you? I have pots and pans in my kitchen which are stainless pots and pans with aluminum plate welded to the bottoms of them for improved heat conduction. I even have one stainless pan with a copper bottom. Wonder how they managed that? Any ideas?
thinking about making a glorified spoiler for my sailboat.. to mount up to two windgenerators on.. and maybe a solarpanel.. now i was thinking about having an aluminium "skeleton" inside an atleast 75% solid fiberplastic shell.. seen aluminium brazing as a quite simple and easy thing to do.. can i make my "skeleton" with brazing aluminium.. with perhaps some additional stuff.. take it to some pro alu welder and have him or her weld it proper? or will brazing dammage all the welds and have less material to work with? the material would have to be rods and not tubes..
What would happen if you attempted this with both filler sticks at the same time and added a zigzag movement or say a swirling motion when pooling? I'd try it but don't have a rig... yet.
Great video! One thing I would like to see covered by a TIG welding channel is welding of Docol material. It's becoming quite the popular material when it comes to the auto racing world, but there is very little information out there about it. I need to weld some Docol, I also need to weld standard mild steel to the Docol tubing for a bumper support and was curious if this is even possible, or if it retains any strength.
What about welding clad material. Such as 1/8" aluminum between two layers of 14g stainless to a stainless fitting. Will the aluminum contaminate the stainless weld that's in contact with?
Hi please help I have this repair job I got in its 50mm x 1.5mm wall tubeing 304L the previous welder welded it with the arc not sure what grade .I tried grinding it flat and cutting a 1mm gap its just falling away please can you advise me on what to do
I have one for you Mr. Tig, Can you weld steel to pot metal ??? I somehow remember seeing this on a pair of cragar ss wheel rims. Not sure my memory is correct or not. What do you think Mr. Tig ?? Good day too.
If for some reason you really have to weld the 2 materials together, you can stir weld them. Honda does it for some of their subframes, but I have never seen the point in mixing materials chemically like that.
I have a friend who works at a company named JB WELDERS. Their weld would be superior to yours! (sark) I really enjoy your videos...... I would rather watch them than "How it's made" which is actually a pretty good show. Thanks so much for videos!!!
I've seen similar but they used friction stir welding... but really, I have no idea why you'd need to join such different metals (That is my lack of imagination rather than experience).. Good demonstration...
I've accidentally grabbed the wrong rod (AL) welding stainless and it seemed to weld ok. I've also seen my old boss do the same. I cannot recall what we did after but I could only guess we just rewelded it with the correct filler rod and left it as is.
Can you mix iron with mirey clay? Some will try to mingle these two together but the Lord has said, "They shall not mix. And I will strike them with a Rock." Are you being ground to dust or molded by the potter?
Just a thought, like using bronze to do copper, could there be an intermediate metal? Like in Braizing? Solder is tin and lead to steal often times.. Yes this is not "welding" per say but prhaps something like that could have it's uses, what I don't know but yeah..it's experiments that got us RUclips
It can be done using Fronius;s CMT (Cold metal transfer) and I believe miller has a process called... RMD which I believe is mostly for pipe but Ive heard it cant do some of the thing CMT can do.. I'm not even 50% sure on that. CMT however I have seen done and its not a GTaW process it's a well CMT wire process.
We'd use bimetallic strips (say an inch wide) to tie the steel decking to the aluminum super structure on navy ships. It was all corrosion repair related. It was a explosion welded plate cut into strips. If you weren't careful, the heat from the aluminum MIG welding could separate the bond between the dissimilar metals.
I've used explosion welded pads of aluminum/steel to connect aluminum structure to steel stantions. We've encountered the same issues with separation of the explosion weld.
ringram0790 maybe seal the edges up with aluminum brazing rod or some industrial epoxy. or it's just unavoidable and galvanic corrosion occurs from the inside out
I feel the fault with the weld was penetration on the steel side. What if you added more heat to the steel than the aluminum, by moving the arc more over the steel than the aluminum.
I know this is nuts but, I welded these two metals by accident by picking up the wrong filler rod and the pulley shaft protection cap is still functioning after 18 years still fulfilling its purpose, mind you it is not a structural situation.
Its can be possible with silver rod or not .like 56% silver flux core rod if no gas is use or with gas no flux core. Technique is brazing or brazing can be done with tig.2nd method is aluma-steel rod. please recheck mr.tig.
saw something a long time ago on Discovery shark week about shark cages. they said in describing what the cages were made of that they were aluminum Tig welded together with stainless steel. I always knew that was wrong. glad I found this video. thanks pizza welder and Mr tig
I always said " anything but the crack of dawn and a broken heart " , but welding aluminum to stainless , is something that God never intended ... L O L ...
Here is a challenge. MIG weld 304SS, 16 gauge, 3" exhaust tube using .023 308l wire with C25 gas. That's what I got, tri mix is not an option. I'm almost done with my exhaust, welds look like crap and it spatters a lot. I found it very difficult with my Hobart 190. Thanks.
I did this recently, I have a SnapOn 120v Mig Welder with .023 308l wire and C25 gas. The material of the exhaust is very thin, and thin materials are the only time I make a pass at recommending downhand welding. My process is down-hand stitching. In text, Zap. Pause. Zap. Pause. Zap. Pause. Zap. Also, how clean are your exhaust pipes? New, used, any signs of corrosion that sort of thing? That said, I'd also like to see a demo on this. However your post is from 4 months ago, so I assume this question is null.
Well, there is a video on the web with a guy that took aluminum and fused some stainless steel into it and welded a bolt to a aluminum sheet and pulled with over 2000 pounds before the aluminum snapped not near the weld ,so yes it is possible ,it wasn’t pretty though
I have (accidentally) welded aluminum to aluminum using stainless filler. Successfully I might add. But that's what happens when you ask a neophyte to hand you another stick of filler material.
You can't weld them together... but you can encase the stainless in aluminum since they melt at very different temperatures, this can be used for things like wear pads or if you want a ss bolt on an aluminum plate... you wouldn't weld them directly but instead encase the SS in aluminum weld and it holds surprisingly well
Thanks for showing us why it wont work, instead of just telling us. It made it way more understandable to me to see it in action and fail.

Could you invite pizza welder to come onto the show and demonstrate how to weld pizzas together?
Lmao
You can't weld them together. But you can braze with molten cheese!
Use cheese as the filler 😂🤣😂
Yeah. You can weld mozzarella, cheddar or pepperoni with a cheese stick and hot air soldering nozzle, but like with metals you can’t weld cheeses together using a pepperoni filler rod.
Can you TIG braze aluminum to stainless with silicon or aluminum bronze?
Maybe nickel bronze?
You can, yes, with both
We need these questions. More so, we need an experienced person showing us real world situations. I did not know this, and feel much better Seeing the results as opposed to having to only be able to Read the results.

Can u set a plate of aluminum alloy as a base while welding stainless steel?
Would aluminum bronze or some other "tig braze" material work here? Serious question.

This was entertaining, but it was one of the most bizarre requests from a viewer. I love the welding humor in the last statement of the video!
Is it possible to weld uphill and get a nice weld using short arc?

Mr. Tig is my hero!
Stupid question, what would happen with a stainless steel or another non-aluminum alloy as filler, like titanium or magnesium?
The US Navy has Steel welded to aluminum to connect aluminum superstructures to the steel hull and deck.
What would happen if you attempted this with both filler sticks at the same time and added a zigzag movement or say a swirling motion when pooling? I'd try it but don't have a rig... yet.

Is it possible to weld a piece of aluminum to steel without using alumasteel electrodes but using only steel electrode and stick welding?
i wonder of you could braze them together with aluminum bronze
What happen if we weld MS & SS , what filler should have use?
whats the process for replacing broken off aluminum bun/bosses which will be drilled and tapped?
how would the resausts differ if you were to braze with aluminum-bronze fillerrod
What about welding clad material. Such as 1/8" aluminum between two layers of 14g stainless to a stainless fitting. Will the aluminum contaminate the stainless weld that's in contact with?
Hi please help I have this repair job I got in its 50mm x 1.5mm wall tubeing 304L the previous welder welded it with the arc not sure what grade .I tried grinding it flat and cutting a 1mm gap its just falling away please can you advise me on what to do

Mr. TIG..is there any possibility of tig welding small 1/8" tack welds joining stainless steel to Titanium ? thank you sir
If for some reason you really have to weld the 2 materials together, you can stir weld them. Honda does it for some of their subframes, but I have never seen the point in mixing materials chemically like that.
I have a friend who works at a company named JB WELDERS. Their weld would be superior to yours! (sark) I really enjoy your videos...... I would rather watch them than "How it's made" which is actually a pretty good show. Thanks so much for videos!!!
would aluminium brazing rod work to weld an aluminum carburetor plate to an aluminum intake for like a chevy 3.1
hows about with silicone bronze or aluminum bronze
I've seen similar but they used friction stir welding... but really, I have no idea why you'd need to join such different metals (That is my lack of imagination rather than experience).. Good demonstration...
could you do it with aluminum bronze?
Very interesting question, i wonder what would have happened when smashing the puddles, i guess break apart like the other one?
Hi. I’ve got a question. Is it possible to send you a video of my question. Thanks
I've accidentally grabbed the wrong rod (AL) welding stainless and it seemed to weld ok. I've also seen my old boss do the same. I cannot recall what we did after but I could only guess we just rewelded it with the correct filler rod and left it as is.
Can you mix iron with mirey clay? Some will try to mingle these two together but the Lord has said, "They shall not mix. And I will strike them with a Rock."
Are you being ground to dust or molded by the potter?
Just a thought, like using bronze to do copper, could there be an intermediate metal? Like in Braizing? Solder is tin and lead to steal often times.. Yes this is not "welding" per say but prhaps something like that could have it's uses, what I don't know but yeah..it's experiments that got us RUclips
Would the EZ weld tig wire you used on cast iron work on this?
You can join dis-similar materials with silicon bronze. The question from this video was asking about a true "weld".
It can be done using Fronius;s CMT (Cold metal transfer) and I believe miller has a process called... RMD which I believe is mostly for pipe but Ive heard it cant do some of the thing CMT can do.. I'm not even 50% sure on that. CMT however I have seen done and its not a GTaW process it's a well CMT wire process.
oh it can be done...just has to be explosion welding lol
That sounds like some real fun!

Our customer didn't allow it, we had to make some engineering changes instead.
Class delivery!
what about wrought iron can that be tig welded??
Iron alloys cannot be weld to aluminum.
But they can be braze or solder.
I feel the fault with the weld was penetration on the steel side. What if you added more heat to the steel than the aluminum, by moving the arc more over the steel than the aluminum.
in ships still and aluminum. how do they do that
hello sir TIG when welding please show what percentage of settings on the machine, so it can be understood. thanks.
Nice, nice and very nice video! 👍👍👍
I know this is nuts but, I welded these two metals by accident by picking up the wrong filler rod and the pulley shaft protection cap is still functioning after 18 years still fulfilling its purpose, mind you it is not a structural situation.
Great video 👍👍
I can brazing aluminium to stell with aluminium rods(alu, zinc and cooper) and beta brass rods.
Its can be possible with silver rod or not .like 56% silver flux core rod if no gas is use or with gas no flux core. Technique is brazing or brazing can be done with tig.2nd method is aluma-steel rod. please recheck mr.tig.
What do you think about Aluma-Steel?
@weld.com - is it possible to build up on ss with Al brazing. Then join Al to Al ?
Great chemistry lesson.
How about friction welding?
You can solder them together
you use thoriated tungsten electrodes to weld steel and zirconiated (however you spell it) electrodes to weld aluminium
Not really welding but id tig braze it to join something like that together.. As long its done properly it will work fine
saw something a long time ago on Discovery shark week about shark cages. they said in describing what the cages were made of that they were aluminum Tig welded together with stainless steel. I always knew that was wrong. glad I found this video. thanks pizza welder and Mr tig

I always said " anything but the crack of dawn and a broken heart " , but welding aluminum to stainless , is something that God never intended ... L O L ...
Silicon Bronze mate, Silicon bronze!! brazing... not welding..
I looked so surprised when it didn't work for me either. Thanks for confirming that I'm still sane.

nice work
When I hear that name, I immediately go back to the special question video you did a while back to the question on what amperage to weld JB Weld.
Here is a challenge. MIG weld 304SS, 16 gauge, 3" exhaust tube using .023 308l wire with C25 gas. That's what I got, tri mix is not an option. I'm almost done with my exhaust, welds look like crap and it spatters a lot. I found it very difficult with my Hobart 190. Thanks.
I did this recently, I have a SnapOn 120v Mig Welder with .023 308l wire and C25 gas. The material of the exhaust is very thin, and thin materials are the only time I make a pass at recommending downhand welding. My process is down-hand stitching. In text, Zap. Pause. Zap. Pause. Zap. Pause. Zap.
Also, how clean are your exhaust pipes? New, used, any signs of corrosion that sort of thing?
That said, I'd also like to see a demo on this.
However your post is from 4 months ago, so I assume this question is null.
zarektlek I think I needed to clean the material more. I recently bought a tig welder, so much better.
interesting
sr... please wich is the rigth way to Weld hardfacing wire tank u.. i know you are expert on tig but you are a expert welder to tank u¡¡
You can use friction stir welding to weld aluminum to steel. Google it, an awesome process (but totally impractical for non-specialist applications).
Do it on dcen set it up to weld steel and use er7os-6 filler or 308L I had much better results then using AC
CanC youCa ylda luminum to magnicium?
Another method is to apply silver solder to the aluminum first
Well, there is a video on the web with a guy that took aluminum and fused some stainless steel into it and welded a bolt to a aluminum sheet and pulled with over 2000 pounds before the aluminum snapped not near the weld ,so yes it is possible ,it wasn’t pretty though
Pizza welder! Next time you try to weld stainless to aluminum, use the magnetic clamps to hold the plates!
Why don’t you twist the aluminum and stainless filler wire? So that way they mix. Doughy it’ll work but it’s worth a shot
Aluminum bronze?
We’ve got the number for dr phill 😂😂😂😂
I have (accidentally) welded aluminum to aluminum using stainless filler. Successfully I might add. But that's what happens when you ask a neophyte to hand you another stick of filler material.
Thank you very much
I want to try that with my powertig.
those metals go together as well as shit and strawberry cheesecake.
