Higher strength alloys of the 5000 and 6000 series, with soldering and brazing of all alloys are detailed. Lots of on camera "torch-time."

Then, set-up and troubleshooting; solutions to problems; pros and cons with the TIG versus Torch issue; setting up a welding rig, leak testing, safety, proper adjustments, alloy selection, cleaning and preparation of the material and filler, and mixing and application of the flux. Crack prevention, necessary with the higher strength aluminum alloys, intricacies of Butt, Tee, and Lap joints are thorouly demonstrated. Brazing and soldering are in two segments with proper cleaning, flux and filler selection and strength and corrosion issues.

This is a comprehensive teaching aid with an enormous amount of information. Chapter headings are set to each topic for ease of access. The through-the-lens segments can be set for repeat play, making it wonderfully easy to get the "feel" by watching first hand as long as you like. You might get intellectual indigestion by absorbing all of this in one go, so try to do it in several sittings. This film should be a real treat for all of you wanting to do more than just 1100 and 3003, and I hope you like watching it as much as I did in presenting it. Kent White
