Shappee Welding FAQ
We know you have questions
Sometimes a piece of equipment has broken down and needs a simple weld, other times things can be a little more complicated. This page was put together to help answer some possible questions you may have.
We can weld almost any type of metal, including steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium. However, there are different welding techniques for different types of metals, and choosing the right welding method for the specific material used is important.
The choice of welding equipment depends on the application and materials used. Factors to consider include:
•The type and thickness of the metal
•The power source
•The intended use of the finished product
•The desired level of precision and control
Yes, but remove as much rust as possible before starting. Rust weakens the metal and creates impurities that interfere with the welding process and compromise the strength of the finished weld.
