Tip #1 Aluminum Welding Takes Experience
Since welding aluminum presents challenges different from welding other materials, such as stainless steel, you need to make sure the welder you choose has experience welding aluminum specifically.
Can you just count on the welding certifications the welder is certified for? No, you need to look beyond the certs and ask specific questions. What questions in particular? We addressed which questions to ask in our post here.
Even though you as a client in need of a welder may not be expert at all of the alloys involved in metal your welder should have expert knowledge of how the alloy responds to heat as well as flux material necessary to connect or repair the material
Tip #2 A Great Aluminum Welder Can Be Expensive (Not Necessarily)
How much should it cost to hire a great aluminum welder? As they always say, cost is relative. But hiring a truly experienced welder to fabricate or repair aluminum will be money well spent.
What clients are interested in is having their job done right because a piece of equipment is not working properly and the down time will cost money. Renewed optimum performance from a kitchen stove, automobile part, or aluminum pipe will get your business back on track to earn you the money that broken equipment is losing you. The same goes for metal design work that can only be completed by finding an experienced welder whose work can beautify the design piece for a tidy profit.
Tip #3 How To Tell If An Aluminum Welder Will Be Great
Once you’ve checked his or her experience and knowledge, the last thing you need to be conscious of is the likelihood that your welder will be easy to work with. Are they personable. Customer service is important because meeting reasonable customer expectations is what a great aluminum welder will be more than willing to do.
