HelloAny welderbros here can tell me if this metal can be welded together and how>metal rod of this tent broke in half due to rust on the inside>the only thing holding them together is the red tape and just a little metal part that did not break>tape can’t last forever because the hinges slide on the rod to close the tent>I don’t know exactly what type of metal it is, my guess is either aluminum or tin because it’s very lightThanks welderbros
>>2817334Picrel for some reason got rotated lmao
>>2817334>welded together and howIt's probably aluminium. Personally, I'd get a piece of square metal tube that could fit inside and rivet it to the good pieces. Or wood and bolts
>>2817336Wood and bolts are off the table because there’s a sliding pieceWe could try with the square pipe
>>2817334Look up rosette welding - sliding new metal inside the cut part and drilling just the outer tubing to expose the inner new metal.And then look up alumaweld sticks off amazon (really its brazing with a map gas torch)I think the home depot metal aisle will have a perfect bit to use as the inner part for the rosette weld.Then sand so the slider goes over it all.
>>2817334aluminum wouldn't rust
>>2817338you could put a slightly oversized piece of square wood in the tube and then counter sink small screws in the metal leaving it flat and attached.
>>2817360this, cheap and easy, and you get to buy a countersink bit and choose screws to match
