1. What grade aluminum (score: 1): Author: Gbouff1@aol.com; Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2005 21:25:17 EST; I'm going to attempt some minor repairs, does anyone know what current grade of aluminum would approximate the grade used in the front and rear shrouds. Also what gage thickness. Thanks, Gary Bouffar; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00027.html (7,222 bytes)

RE: What grade aluminum (score: 1): Author: "Freese, Ken" <Kendall.Freese@Aerojet.com>; Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2005 08:00:38 -0800; If possible, I think it would be a good idea to get an old damaged shroud and cut strips out of it for the repair panels.

I checked with some engineering friends of mine in the aircraft business for a modern weldable alloy and also asked Roger M; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00100.html (8,028 bytes)

Re: what grade aluminum (score: 1): Author: Roland Wilhelmy <rwil@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2005 11:18:14 -0800; While 6061-T6 alloy is very weldable it has some characteristics that would make me hesitant to use it to repair a Healey shroud. Its use in aircraft is due to these same characteristics. The article; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00103.html (9,230 bytes)
5. Re: what grade aluminum (score: 1): Author: Gbouff1@aol.com; Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2005 10:58:42 EST; Thanks for the info. FWIW I found an article from the 50s that waa on someone's site which gave the Britsh Grade# (BS 1470 NS3). The equivalent international grade is 3103.

Sounds like a good resource. The repair that I need to make is on the flanges, so no bending required. To make compound curves; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00124.html (9,686 bytes)

Have you had any good results with this? I have TIG welded some cracks in my shroud with very good results and even filled; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00125.html (9,487 bytes)
8. Re: what grade aluminum (score: 1): Author: <fmags@cox.net>; Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2005 10:43:04 -0600; Thanks Gary. I haven't heard of 3103; probably not very common in the aircraft industry. Or, could be the result of several designation changes over the years, or British versus American designations; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00126.html (9,137 bytes)

Re: what grade aluminum (score: 1): Author: Roland Wilhelmy <rwil@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Sun, 06 Nov 2005 08:48:29 -0800; Larry Varleys incredibly useful website is one of the articles is on the TIG welding of the Austin-Healey shrouds. In it they describe the alloy used. -Roland; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00127.html (7,762 bytes)
10. Re: what grade aluminum (score: 1): Author: CNAArndt@aol.com; Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2005 19:02:58 EST; I was just at my local metal supply warehouse (Industrial Metal Supply in San Diego), and I know that they had 3003 grade aluminum in stock. What I don't know is if this is close to the 3103 that yo; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00136.html (7,824 bytes)

Re: what grade aluminum (score: 1): Author: Roland Wilhelmy <rwil@sbcglobal.net>; Date: Sun, 06 Nov 2005 16:45:33 -0800; 3103 wasn't in my Alcoa book from 1958. 3003 aluminum in O grade is fairly similar in strength and elongation to 1100 aluminum. So if given a choice between marrying 6061 or 3003 aluminum to a Healey; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00139.html (8,366 bytes)

The front shroud is in pretty good shape. The rear shroud is another story. The flanges are in very bad sh; /html/healeys/2005-11/msg00141.html (7,489 bytes)
