By: Morris Ritz | 2011-07-11 | Business Aluminum is regarded as one of the most versatile metals and has been brought into several usages. While expert welders may find it easy to weld the metal, the amateurs certainly find the task annoying. read more
By: Preston Mane | 2011-04-09 | Automotive Some of the properties that make aluminum harder to work with are the fact that it is difficult to see. There is no color change to see when it is heated and it has a wider range of melting temperatures than other metals. The oxide in the aluminum also has different characteristics and the thermal, electrical and other characteristics like nonmagnetic are different. read more
By: Preston Mane | 2010-12-07 | Automotive Aluminum gas welding is a handy (and profitable) skill to have. It takes a bit to learn, but once you have it mastered you are on your way. This article will get you started. read more
By: Jessica Thomson | 2011-11-28 | Marketing Most industries engaged in the job of welding take up aluminum as base metals for welding for a number of advantages that the metal brings with it. The process of aluminum welding involves two types of alloys namely, wrought alloys and cast alloys. read more
By: Aabbye | 2011-08-04 | Computer The heat of welding reduces yield and ultimate strengths of aluminum alloysthat get their strength from articial aging and those that derive their strengthfrom cold-working. (That just about covers all of the tempers you're everlikely to use.) In other words, welding offsets the strength the producersworked so hard, by one means or the other, to get into the metal. read more
By: Jody Collier | 2010-03-31 | Manufacturing 4130 Chromoly tubing is used for all kinds of applications, but 2 of the main ones are for airplanes and for racing just about anything from motorcycles, to mountain bikes, to go-carts. AISI 4130 tubing is strong. It's real strong. So the reason it is so popular among race car and airplane builders can use thinner tubing and that translates into speed and less weight. read more

By: John Metall | 2012-03-07 | Science hermit material is a mechanical mixture of metallic aluminum and processed iron oxide.Molten steel is produced by the reaction in a magnesite-lined crucible. At the bottom of the crucible, a magnesite stone is burned, into which a magnesite stone thimble is fitted.This thimble provides a passage through which the molten steel is discharged into the mold. read more
By: Preston Mane | 2010-11-29 | Computer Aluminum arc welding has been a very useful asset for many fabricators and do-it-yourself enthusiasts. There are ups and downs to using aluminum arc welding, but it is indispensible if you are welding aluminum. read more
By: Jody Collier | 2010-03-31 | Manufacturing Mig Welding Aluminum is harder than mig welding steel. Why? Because everything that can go wrong on Steel , is just exaggerated when you mig weld aluminum. Even something as simple as the argon flow rate makes a big difference. A slight tweak of the wire feed speed changes things up big time. Even a little burr on the copper contact tip can cause the wire feed to slow and burn back to the tip. read more

Two methods are used foraluminum: arc stud welding, which uses a conventional welding arc over atimed interval, and capacitor-discharge stud welding, which uses an energydischarge from a capacitor. read more
