Hey welding fans, hello,

 

 

 

Aluminum tank repair

 

 

 

 

The first question for me would be what needs to be repaired? Is the tank leaking? Or does the tank have any damage and is the thread broken?

New plates must be fitted. All of this can mean repairs. Which of course is a big challenge for someone who has no experience in aluminum welding. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not possible to do all the things I’ve described here.

are of course feasible and can be rectified or repaired, no question about it.

In principle, of course, it is an advantage with such things that you can weld aluminum. And of course a welding machine also has something aluminum

 

 

 

ium can weld. Next, of course, you also need a milling cutter or lathe for certain things, for example when it comes to making new threads, simple small threads can of course also be made by hand, but with special ones it always gets a bit complicated.

Here are a few tips up front: the most important thing when welding aluminum, especially used or old aluminum, is cleanliness. What I recommend here is a hot air dryer, a wire brush, acetone and a cloth so that you can remove the dirt really well and prepare it perfectly for welding!

 

 

 

 

 

For normal aluminum, I would simply recommend ALMG5 as the welding rod.

When welding aluminum, I always think that the green tungsten electrode works best, if you weld up to 220 A approximately, a 2.4 is also sufficient. Anything above that I would take a 3.2.

If you have pitting, try not to weld it at all, in my experience the quickest way is to cut out the area and fit a new plate. You will see that you will be able to seal the tank more quickly at this point, which is also the aim.
