  25. hi all welding is a process of learning the process&then lots of practice . in my case i learnt to arc weld & oxy- acetylene welding with a hobby course @rhe local TAFE college with the basics of welding learnt &lots of practice you can then teach yourself to weld using the tig &mig process the tig &mig process can be adapted to weld all sorts of material as different gases are required to weld the various materials ie ali requires pure argon whereas the various steels can be welded using CO@ or other gas blends so you see there is more to using the various welding processes than simply buying a welder &then start praticising there is all the knowledge & lots of practice before you can make a passable /servicable weld good luck with your desire to learn to weld the various metals. it won`t necessarily be easy /but also fustrating as your welding gets better lyle
