Welding methods and steps for various metals
Weldable Metals Overview
Common Metals: Aluminum, steel, copper, titanium, brass, carbon steel, nickel, bronze.
Aluminum Welding
- Methods: TIG, MIG (fusion/solid-state)
- Speed: 300–500 mm/min (high thermal conductivity)
- Key Steps:
- Remove oxide layer pre-welding
- High heat input for stable weld pool
- Argon/helium shielding gas
Stainless Steel Welding
- Methods: Stick, TIG, MIG, laser
- Challenges:
- Surface contaminants weaken joints
- Crack risk (low heat transfer, high thermal expansion)
- Solutions:
- Controlled heat input
- Compatible filler rods for dissimilar metals
Copper Welding
- Methods: TIG, MIG, GTAW, SMAW, brazing
- Challenge: Rapid heat dissipation
- Fix: Pre-heat workpieces
Other Metals
- Carbon Steel: Common arc welding
- Titanium: Requires inert shielding
- Nickel/Brass/Bronze: Specialized techniques for oxidation control
