Welding techniques for 4130?

Welding means to fuse two metals together by melting them, often with
the addition of a filler.


good stuff snipped

Thanks Corky. I appreciate your input.

Thousands of A/C have been welded up with Oxy-Acetylene. Why not go to an
EAA Sportair workshop? They run both Oxy-Acetylene [& TIG] welding
sessions. A 2-day hands-on class will get you started off right.

I am going to begin an aircraft project this winter and it looks like I
have a
LOT of welding ahead of me. I'm curious as to the different methods, ie
brazing vs. arc, etc., and what the benefits or drawbacks of each method
may
be. Is one style better? Stronger? Easier? I will be working with a
buddy
who owns a machine shop and he has just about all the equipment I could
ever
ask for. Given that availability of equipment, what would you welders out
there recommend or prefer?

Thanks.
