What Spec. needed for Weld Repair on Aluminum?
(OP)
I have a part with a .125 diameter hole which breaks through and area it shouldn't. I need to do a weld repair on it and my customer needs a spec it will be done to. Any suggestions?

Second, I would locally grind into the pin-hole (or surface pore) to evaluate the soundness of the aluminum in the area you intend to weld. Have some liquid penetrant handy to check the surface of the part after you have removed the pore. It could be that as you grind into the part to remove the pin hole, there is a large void or other defects.
Third, I would suggest you review the information below, especially if you have never welded with aluminum.

I can't rember off hand if the T6 is from heat treat or from work hardening. You need to check that out if this is a critcal part.
