I have some 2017 square tube I want to weld with tig or mig anyone have any luck with either process? From what I have heard, Friction stir is the only way to go.

It's also vulnerable to hot cracking.Check the link below for their recommendations on welding and heat treatment.http://www.suppliersonline.com/propertypages/2017.asp Originally Posted by craig161I have some 2017 square tube I want to weld with tig or mig anyone have any luck with either process?
