Before you call

Aluminum welding: the short version

TIG or MIG welding on aluminum: boats, trailers, railings and parts.

When you need it

  • Cracked boat hulls and pontoons
  • Aluminum trailers and truck parts
  • Railings, ramps and docks
  • Custom aluminum frames and brackets

What to send the shop

  • Photos of the crack or break, close up
  • The alloy, if you know it
  • What the part does and what it carries
  • Whether it comes off, or needs mobile work

Typical lead time

Each repair is quoted on its own. Ask about the queue when you book.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    Do you TIG weld aluminum, or use a spool gun?

  2. Q2

    Can you weld my alloy, or is it a casting?

  3. Q3

    Is your company certified to CSA W47.2 for aluminum?

Questions

Aluminum welding FAQ

What should I tell the welder about the aluminum?

Give the alloy if you know it. Say whether the part is cast, sheet or plate, what it carries and where it failed.

Which certification covers aluminum welding?

CSA W47.2 is the CWB company standard for welding aluminum. Ask whether the company is certified for the work your project needs.

What photos help with a repair quote?

Send a close-up of the crack and a photo of the whole piece. Show anything that blocks access and say whether the part can be removed.

Good to know

  • Say whether the part is cast, or made from sheet and plate.
  • No Cambridge shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
