Optimal Temperature of Aluminum Welding: Tips for Control and Success
To effectively weld aluminum, clean the base metal to remove aluminum oxide and hydrocarbon contamination. Aluminum oxide melts at 3,700°F, while the base aluminum melts at 1,200°F. Proper cleaning and preparation enhance the welding process and ensure a strong bond. Controlling temperature is essential for preventing issues such as warping and excessive oxidation. Too high … Read more
