Aluminium Welding
There are a number of challenges associated with aluminium welding, which is why specialised training and expertise is required. Aluminium welders must be well-versed in aluminium welding techniques, joint design and the specific properties of different aluminium alloys.
Traditional welding techniques used for steel, such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), may not be as effective for aluminium due to its unique properties. GTAW and GMAW are more commonly used for aluminium welding in Perth and across WA, but these techniques also may require specific adjustments to achieve high-quality welds.
Aluminium's lower melting point compared to other metals requires special consideration for joint design. Proper joint preparation and fit-up are essential to ensure good fusion and penetration during welding.
Additionally, Aluminium welding produces fumes that can be harmful to the welder if not properly controlled. Effective ventilation and proper protective equipment are necessary to ensure the safety of aluminium welders.
So don’t choose just any company for your aluminium welding requirements, choose Empire Welding to ensure expertise and professionalism, along with visual and structural integrity for every job.
