Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is aluminum harder to weld than steel?
- Aluminum oxidizes rapidly and conducts heat quickly, which makes controlling the weld pool more difficult than with mild steel. It also requires a clean base material and specific filler alloys matched to the base material. Our Florence team has the equipment and experience to produce sound aluminum welds consistently.
- Can you weld a cracked aluminum boat hull?
- Yes. Cracked aluminum boat hulls are one of the more common repair jobs we handle in Florence, SC. We clean the area, grind or drill-stop the crack to prevent propagation, weld it out fully, and inspect the bead before you put it back on the water.
- What is the difference between MIG and TIG welding for aluminum?
- MIG welding is faster and better suited for thicker material or longer runs where speed matters. TIG welding gives you more control and a cleaner bead, which is preferred on thinner material, cosmetic parts, or joints requiring high precision. We select the right process based on your specific job.
