Hy Pythonauts,
I looked in the mailinglist, but i cant seem to find a satisfying
answer to this question: Welding or brazing when building a bike?
What are the pro' s and con's? (strength, easyness, costs)
Kind regards,
Arjen
I have used both. I like Oxy acetelyne brazing best and done right
fillet brazing is as strong as arc welding. Here the monthly rental on
the gas bottles plus gas cost makes it prohibitive from the hobbyist
perspective. Joints do need to be an accurate and very good fit for
brazing. Welding is a bit more forgiving in that regard.
My most recent bikes were built with a little DC inverter stick welder
and I am satisfied with the results. No welds or brazing has yet broken.
A lot of the builders on Atomic Zombie forum use gasless mig.
One thing I'd recommend if using electric welding is to invest in a self
darkening helmet. That improved my welds out of sight.
