Is HTS-2000 stronger than welding?
Yes. We have proven in shops that our material is stronger than welding and Tig welding on several applications. However, there are a lot of variables. It depends on what kind of wire or filler is being used and the proficiency of the person using the Tig welder. The same holds with our material. Users that follow the directions exactly will get the most strength out of a repair. Consider this – both our material and a Tig weld, when done correctly, are stronger than the conventional aluminum and that’s all you need. However, with our material you do not have to pay $3,500 to $25,000for the machine, and anyone (if they follow the instructions and practice a little) can become quite efficient at using our material.
