Why Choose TIG Welding for Aluminum?
Aluminum as a material is light weight, strong and cannot corrode, thus it is used in many industries. However, it creates a lot of challenges particularly when welding. It has high thermal conductivity hence if there is heat within the vicinity it will readily transfer it and this might make welding a little challenging. Furthermore, aluminum being a light metal develops a thin oxide layer on the surface and the oxide layer removes during the process of welding. TIG welding is the most commonly used method for the joining of aluminum because of the flexibility it offers to the welder to achieve defect free and clean welds.
TIG welding is a process of welding in which the base metal and or aluminium work pieces are fused by maintaining an electric arc between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and that metal. An inert shielding gas, which is mainly the argon or a combination of argon and helium, is expended to cover the weld area in order to prevent the formation of oxide, which is deadly to the weld. Those industries, which require high degree of accuracy and reliability in their aluminum based products, can avail the services of Aluminum TIG welding in Gujarat.
