Welding cast aluminum

Liquid molten aluminum was flooded into the cast aluminum. This fact did lead to small air pockets forming within the metal from time to time in the Moldie aluminium casting. These small bubbles are referred to as inclusions and can cause you major problems once you weld with them. The gas within these little bubbles can fortify the weld even weaker, and you can see your strength reduced considerably. To avoid this, you should ensure that the surface to be welded is clean of grime or rather any undesirable substance(s). Cleaning the surface will allow you to produce a better and tougher weld. The first and most important welding cast aluminum tips involve heating the metal before you start welding. The preheating of the aluminum lowers the possibilities of cracking in the metal. Too cold a metal shatters in the weld heat. This low heat welding is what you are also to use when you are welding. That means you do not want to overheat the zone. Having the heat low also reduces warping or bending of the metal from heat if it gets too hot.




Tips and Techniques for Successfully Welding Cast Aluminum

You need to apply the correct filler metal in cast aluminum. Filler metal is what you apply in the weld to be able to support holding pieces together. Select a filler metal composition that is the same as you are using in your aluminum. In this case, the weld will hold strongly and long time. The other thing you need to do before starting to weld is wire brushing of the aluminum surface. This will ensure good metal to metal contact during weld and remove any dirt or oxidation. There are some techniques to Moldie aluminum die casting, and the one you will want to use will depend on your process. However, there is one method that seems to reign supreme: TIG welding. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is a very popular welding technique as it allows you to control precisely how hot you are making the metal. That is going to help you do super clean and super strong welds.
