Aluminium
Aluminium and its alloys are used extensively as a lightweight and corrosion resistant material for applications as diverse as aerospace, cycles and marine use. It has a low melting point and so is readily welded.
Care must be taken to choose the correct shielding gas and alloy composition to avoid post weld cracking. The VBC Technical Team is on hand to assist you with your welding filler wire selection. Contact tech@vbcroup.com
