OK, I can weld an aluminum plate to my aluminum element (a WF column) and bolt the aluminum plate to the steel element (a channel). I don't have any aluminum information so what would the minimun aluminum welding capacity be (the minimum electrode yield strength)?
Thanks
I'm sorry but I don't know what friction welding is but it sounds like it is not typical for the construction industry. Is that correct? Thanks a lot for the answer.
Can I weld steel to aluminum (don't know the type)? What kind of electrode should be used and what would be the electrodes capacity (kips per lineal inch per 1/16" of weld). I initally used 20% of the capacity of an E60xx electrode; this seemed conservative. Any thoughts?
