Clean & Prep

The first step in the aluminum welding process is to clean and prepare the damaged area. This involves removing any dirt, debris, or surface contaminants that could negatively impact the welding process. The technician will use specialized tools and cleaning agents to ensure that the area is thoroughly cleaned and ready for welding.

Start Your Engines

Once the damaged area is clean and prepared, the technician will begin the welding process. Aluminum welding is performed using a TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welder, which allows for precise control of the welding process and helps prevent warping or damage to the surrounding area. The technician will use the welder to carefully join the damaged area, restoring the structural integrity of the component.

Wrapping It Up

After welding, the repaired area is finished to match the original appearance of the vehicle. This may involve sanding, filling, and priming to achieve the desired finish. The technician will take care to match the color and texture of the surrounding area, ensuring a seamless repair.

Quality Control

Before the vehicle is returned to the customer, the technician will perform a thorough quality control inspection to ensure that the repair meets or exceeds industry standards. This includes checking the weld for strength, integrity, and appearance, as well as verifying that the repaired area matches the surrounding area.
