[quote="al nunley"Gas or Tig, makes little difference in mild steel.[/quote]
If it's done correctly, I agree 100%, I tig my EGT fittings and do repairs on them with tig all the time, but overheating will make almost any alloy more brittle, especially a thin sheet metal.

Your right, but mild steel is not an alloy. And I guess you could argue that point.

No you can't. This is the very first line from Wikipedia about steel:
| Quote: | | Steel is an alloy made by combining iron and other elements, the most common of these being carbon. |
