Aluminum Alloy Welding: GTAW and GMAW

Aluminum welders prepare, assemble and weld various parts using GTAW, GTAW-P, GMAW and GMAW-P processes. They perform surface treatments and control the quality of the products produced. This is an exciting job that can be practiced in various industries, but often requires working in difficult environments (heat, heights, etc.). Employment as an aluminum welder using the GTAW and GMAW processes requires good visual acuity and manual dexterity. It is suitable for people who are meticulous, precise and responsible.
