We understand that the induction of new employees into an organization is crucial, that's why we continue to develop the e-learning Duramax Academy. The Duramax Academy will also have a live induction workshop for employees that need to know more about our products and sales processes. Both the e-learning Academy and the live induction program will provide new employees with all the necessary tools and information they require in order to be confident and successful in their respective positions.
Duramax Academy in this module covers Aluminum filler metal selection.
From its strength and versatility to its corrosion resistance, aluminum offers benefits that make it an appealing material for a variety of industries. The material, however, is not without its challenges when it comes to welding. Because of its low melting temperature and high thermal conductivity, extra care must be taken to prevent burn through on thinner material and to ensure adequate fusion or penetration on thicker material. Using the appropriate equipment— machines that offer Pulsed MIG capabilities or TIG capabilities — is important. So too is selecting the right filler metal and understanding the weld characteristics each type provides.
