Exhaust welding

Postby TouchNgo » Fri Aug 08, 2008 11:39 am

Please help.

can anyone advise regarding what electrode to use on the mild steel Rotax exhaust system.

I have a standard mild steel exhaust that has some type of ceramic (grey) coating on it.

Can it be successfully repaired?

The grey coating, could well be an Aluminium coating, in which case you will have to grind it off at the crack. I would then gas weld.
