Tig Welding For Aluminium. Aluminum is very conductive and a lot of heat is required to establish the weld. Many other processes of course can join aluminum but in the lighter gauges the most applicable process is TIG.
TIG welding creates a stronger bond another reason why it is preferred for aluminum and stainless steel. The stronger bond is also why TIG welding is so prevalent in the automotive industry. The positive cycle acts as a scrubbing effect on the surface breaking up oxides that limit weld quality this is what you see on the pictures of the perfect welds we see around.
Especially when we are talking about thin gauge aluminum.
TIG welding aluminum doesnt need to be intimidating. TIG welding is commonly associated with welding aluminum. The positive cycle acts as a scrubbing effect on the surface breaking up oxides that limit weld quality this is what you see on the pictures of the perfect welds we see around. TIG welding aluminum allows you to control adding the filler metal establishing the weld puddle and ensuring proper penetration before adding the filler metal.
