Can You Weld Aluminum Foil?

Although we primarily focus on the chip-making operations shops perform, this welding “parlor trick” on Miller Electric’s website is worth a look-see.

The trick—welding together two pieces of aluminum foil—is performed by Ron Covell, owner of Covell Creative Metalworking. Mr. Covell’s customized cars and motorcycles have been featured in a number of magazines. His website has examples of his handiwork and numerous welding instructional DVDs he offers. Give this trick a shot!
