Yes, aluminum can be welded using the oxy-acetylene process, although it is more challenging than welding steel. This challenge arises from aluminum’s high thermal conductivity and oxide layer. The oxide has a higher melting point than the aluminum itself, requiring careful heat control and frequent removal of the oxide layer to prevent it from interfering with the weld. Flux is often used to facilitate the welding process by helping to remove the aluminum oxide. However, this method is less common for aluminum welding compared to TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) or MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, as these methods offer more control and consistency for the weld. Oxy-acetylene welding of aluminum is typically reserved for specific applications where its unique advantages, such as equipment availability or specific weld characteristics, outweigh the challenges.
