Hi, I was wondering if anone knew what an internal CD or DVD drive case is most commonly made of. I was hoping to use it to do some welding so am hoping it is steet but not sure.

Cheers

if it's an internal cd drive it has a frame
it's made of sheet metal a type of steel
it's usually made by stamping it in a die
to alter it probably takes brazing not welding
good luck
