Which Metals are Weldable?
Can you Weld Stainless Steel?
It is easy to weld stainless steel. TIG and MIG welding are suitable methods, the choice depends on the application requirements.
Can you Weld Aluminum?
Preparation is key when welding aluminum. Ensure that you clean the joint with a solvent to remove oils, grease, and water vapor, and then proceed to weld it soon after cleaning. TIG welding equipment is best suited for welding aluminum.
Can you Weld Galvanized Steel?
While welding galvanized steel is possible, it is not recommended. The zinc coating on the material evaporates easily and form zinc oxide fumes. If necessary, it is recommended to use Stick welding for this application.
Can you Weld Brass?
It is possible to weld brass, but the hardness and how it conducts heat need to be considered when welding, especially if welding to other metals. MIG and TIG are good choices when welding brass.
Can you Weld Copper?
Gas Metal Arc Welding and Tungsten arc welding allow for welding copper. Keeping in mind the need for high localized heat input.
Can you Weld Cast Iron?
Cast iron needs to be welded with the right techniques. Otherwise, it can lead to cracking of the metal. Most methods require a clean surface and pre- and post-heating for successful welds. Stick welding is the ideal process for cast iron.
