The fabrication world is incomplete without aluminum welding, the process by means of which two pieces of aluminum are joined into one single attractive piece.  Aluminum welding requires a lot of meticulous concentration and attention and thus requires dexterity to perform. One need lots of training to handle and master the aluminum welding. Even those who are expert in steel welding found difficulty in aluminum welding process. And as you will work with open flame, you need proper protection and you should follow certain well accepted methods. We would like to make you acquaintance with some of the safety tips:

·         If you need to make a smooth finish to the aluminum surface, use TIG welding method.

·         If the requirement is welding of thicker pieces of aluminum at a rapid pace, then make use of MIG welding method.

·         If you are a MIG welder and you have to do welding on a thinner piece of aluminum, stick to pulse arc welding

·         You should first clean the aluminum surface with the help of stainless steel brush

·         If you have been asked to do aluminum welding; ensure you are wearing a long sleeved shirt, trousers, full face mask and thick work gloves

·         And don’t forget to wear eyeglasses or goggles for eye & skin protection

·         Aluminum welders need proper training and skill to perform their task. So, before jumping into this type of welding, they should learn all the pros and cons of the process.

All these safety precautions are essential because aluminum welding process generates a lot of heat and even lots of dangers are associated with the process.
