Though aluminium is considered to be quite hard to weld, we know from experience in aluminium that it just needs a different type of handling as compared to a metal like steel. The huge breakthrough in aluminium welding and creating aluminium structural forms came in the 1940s. This was the period when the inert gas welding process was introduced. This helped to protect the molten aluminium during welding. Unlike other metals there was no colour change in aluminium when it was heated to high temperatures. Welding technicians would suddenly find it collapsing in a heap of melted metal. Modern techniques and better understanding of the properties of aluminium have resulted in sophisticated welding processes. We have the experience and expertise to handle any type of welding requirement, based on our customers’ specifications, needs and budgetary limitations. Additionally, we also provide on-site welding facilities for customers. This is a great convenience for projects that involve difficult to move objects like railings, fences, and roofing.
While selecting the right welding process for aluminium welding in Horwich, we pay attention to many things. Arc-welding is the oldest method and is still used for a variety of applications, especially in smaller and less complex projects. This method is cost-effective and doesn’t require complicated equipment or power sources. If you need aluminium welding, contact Horwich Steelworks. Gas inert metal welding is used on thick or medium metals doesn’t require much skill but produces high levels of smoke. Tungsten gas arc welding is very efficient, clean and precise. However it needs high skill levels and is more expensive.
