Aluminium welding – Weld with MIG or TIG

The aluminium welding can be done by Mig Welders and Tig Welders. In MIG welding, Arc Weldersburn arcs between the work piece and a consumable electrode, which is simultaneously voltage electrode and the weld filler material. From a nozzle surrounding the electrode exits protective gas, wherein this is argon, helium, nitrogen or a mixture thereof. The inert gas protects the arc and the welding area from outside air, but is not bond with the materials, which is why this method is suitable for joining aluminium, aluminium alloys and other non-ferrous metals. In addition, the aluminium can be welded by a Tig Welders, then being welded with alternating current (AC).

The blunt electrode is surrounded by a nozzle exit from the inert shielding gas to protect the arc that burns between the welding electrodes and the work piece and the weld from atmospheric influences. Unlike MIG welding, the welding electrodes are burnt, which will include not a possible filler material is fed manually or mechanically. To avoid the circular form, the results during welding, can be pointed ground electrode used, but then it requires a modern inverter power source.

A very precise method for aluminium welding, will be welding with Tig Welders that are capable of AC welding. For an easier aluminium welding method, Mig Welders will be the right choice using a SPOOL GUN.
