so called "nano-technology". another science fart. they added powdered titanium into the welding rod, right. maybe add glue next time. sounds good but i doubt the effectiveness. doesnt sound very special. why not braze the aluminium and sinter titanium powder into the cracks.

If you braze it you shouldn't be getting the same cracks in the first place, and sintering is not where it needs to be as far as strength goes for car panels is my guess.
