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

Why is aluminum harder to weld?

Its surface oxide melts at about 2060°C and can spoil the weld. Aluminum also pulls heat away fast, so it can distort, says CWB.

What should I tell the welder?

The alloy, if you know it. An Ottawa welder says finding the base alloy is the first step in a boat repair.

Which certification covers aluminum?

CSA W47.2 is the CWB company standard for welding aluminum. You can check a company in the CWB directory.

What does aluminum welding cost?

Posted rates we found: from $150 an hour in Alberta and $165 an hour at another Canadian shop. Small repairs start from $120 in Niagara Falls.

Good to know

  • Aluminum is welded with TIG, or MIG with a spool gun that feeds the soft wire.
  • Say whether the part is cast, or sheet and plate.
  • Rates here are posted by shops. Each job is still quoted on its own.
