Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

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

Questions

Aluminum welding FAQ

Do Richmond shops post aluminum welding prices?

None we checked do. Send photos and the alloy for a quote. For mobile work, Berto's Welding in Burnaby books a 4 hour minimum. It is not an aluminum repair price.

Why is aluminum harder to weld?

Its surface oxide melts at about 2060°C and can spoil the weld, says CWB.

Which certification covers aluminum?

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

What details help the welder assess a repair?

Show the crack and the whole part. Include the alloy if known, whether it is cast, what it carries and whether it can be removed.

Good to know

  • Say whether the part is cast, sheet or plate. Include the alloy if you know it.
  • No Richmond shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
