are three main types of aluminium welding in Wigan. Arc Welding, gas metal arc welding (MIG) and gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) entail the use of different machines and skills. One of the first requirements for aluminium welding is to make sure the work takes place in a well-ventilated area as the fumes can be hazardous. Safety equipment includes a welding mask, gloves and leathers along with safety boots and a respirator if welding will take place for long periods of time. Welding aluminium is different from the usual steel welding and needs to be done more delicately and slowly. Aluminium welding takes more practice to master than other types of welding.
There are some forms of welding that take more skill than others. In Wigan, aluminium welding is a delicate process as the material is very soft and thin and can easily be burnt through by an inexperienced hand. We can send our experienced welder to your factory to carry out repairs or assembling of items that need to be welded in place. As with all our jobs, we provide an estimated time of completion at the outset of the projects. All our prices are very competitive and we strive to keep our costs as low as possible while still providing exceptionally high standards of workmanship. As well as welding and turning we provide repairs and modification for many machines.
