Dear Sir,i have a job for aluminimum welding - 3mm sheet + 20 square tube welding.this is my first time.can u help me with this. - for aluminum welding.how to do - how to prepare the surface - gas and welding parameters - pre requisities for aluminium welding.kind regards,k. vinodh kumarhosur, tamil nadu, india+91-9844035036--On Saturday, June 13, 2009 at 10:08:41 AM UTC+5:30 PB HEGDE wrote:There is a vast difference in welding practices between Steel and aluminum welding.
i)Commonly Aluminum is welded by Tig and mig process
ii) For Tig process for more than 5mm thk AC tig is preffered with pure argon ,Pure tungsten is used. For AC tig DC suppressor is used for better performance, Preheating .is to be controlled properly. Weld pool is to be well protected from wind. Cleaning of filler metal before use is very essential. In case DC mode use electrode DC +ve to be used
iii)For mig Electrode DC +ve to be used ,generally 1.2 dia wire on spool is used.
iv) For weld properties ,you will not be achieve the UTS as per base material. However 70% of base material strength is acceptable for weld and accordingly the base material thk is designed.
v)Some of the alloy require Aging or Heat treatment to improve the properties.
Aluminum welding is not that simple as steel welding as porosity is major problem you will face

Dear Hegde,
Firstly thank you for the data given by you. For one of our jobs the material we are using is 6061 T651 as per AMS.
Actually we wanted to know what are the common differences between steel & aluminium welding & also which are the problems commonly encountered while welding. As our objective is to provide the best product to our customer at low cost we are looking at exploring different fabrication techniques. Also it would obviously we clear to you that since Al is low weight material, the application demands extremely low weight & high strength application.
Regards,
