Beading Aluminum?

Re: Beading Aluminum?
I think he means a bead on the rim of the pipe so the coupler doesn't slide off. I put a beat on the compressor outlet of my turbo (aluminum). My friend had some of those long aluminum sticks that you melt with a torch. They actually worked pretty good

If you are dead set on have a bead and want to do it cheap you can get by with moddifying a pair of visegrips. You will need to grind the mouth of the pliers to match the radius of the pipe and then weld a bead to the inside jaw and notch the other.
I always just put a few weld beads around the outside of the ic that have a connection.
