Alloy as in aluminium? Well you have some different options with aluminium, unfortunately my TIG welder isn't capable of running AC so I can't weld aluminium. But there are loads of welders that can.
As far as I know brazing like I did can't be done, but it's a lot easier to glue aluminium parts together as an alternative.
Aluminium does liquify at lower temperatures so casting aluminium parts is a lot easier than steel actually. I have a casting oven and made some Land Rover parts out of aluminium.
Heat treatment is a bit more difficult though.
@swedeee Thanks! Any suggestions for further mods?
