Test TIG aluminium

The TIG aluminum test is intended to determine the level of welders for standard aluminum welding. This test consists of welding plates of 2 mm and 4 mm thickness in various positions, such as PA and PB. It is checked whether the welder can independently set up the welding machine for these different welding tests.

Aluminum is welded with alternating current, where determining the current strength and welding frequency is very important. Furthermore, attention is paid to the correct torch position and travel speed.

As a final end test, a pipe is welded around a plate.

In most cases, aluminum welds are not reworked. Therefore, a visually appealing weld must be made. If the weld is not quite good enough, it may be decided that the welder returns for additional training on an extra day.
