Perhaps it is proper to differentiate between the energy sources - electricity and gas? The use of bronzing is probably because of the heat spread on the thin walled tubing. In that regard if elec. welding was used I think it was that TIG is better than MIG for that reason. Anyway there has been plenty said in the past about the limitations with Ventura systems which are not made to carry heavy loads. Rockit
