Gawd , that's positive thinking Steve !!! lolol
I exhaust repair - next to nothing $00.00
8 stud repairs $240.oo bucks ? lolol

way to go !!!!!! :-)

 

Hey Dave , mate , should you be talking about " blazing " when suggesting the heat treatment method ?? ...lololol

Steve , a small clue that I have done many times with WD40 or Penetrene lube , is to soak a small chunk of cotton wool in the lube and wrap it around each stud to leave over night mate ...

and please try not to implement the "blazing" method " ***** !

 

Ow golly gee ,we have a bloody rocket scientist in our midst ... pick pick pick ... lolol

....Dar !! , sorry for the confusion, I just got off the last bus too mate ...

I think you and most here knew what we meant ...

EDIT :
I suppose though we may as well clarify this ...for any other members that just got off the bus with me ...lololol


care of Wiki :-)

Plain (normal)ARC Welding
Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non-consumable electrodes.
( NO GAS REQUIRED )

MIG ..........
Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) welding or metal active gas (MAG) welding, is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.

TIG ........
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors known as a plasma.
GTAW is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys. The process grants the operator greater control over the weld than competing processes such as shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding, allowing for stronger, higher quality welds. However, GTAW is comparatively more complex and difficult to master, and furthermore, it is significantly slower than most other welding techniques. A related process, plasma arc welding, uses a slightly different welding torch to create a more focused welding arc and as a result is often automated.[1]
