Recommended aluminum pipe welding procedures for Corps of Engineers construction
An investigation of aluminum pipe welding techniques for field construction is documented. Information from the Aluminum Association and the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) was evaluated to see whether their methods would be feasible for use by the Army Corps of Engineers. These procedures were then tested on aluminum piping commonly used in Corps construction (6061-T6 and 3003-H18). The investigation verified that these methods were viable for military applications. The information gained during this investigation was used as a basis for recommending guidance on aluminum welding which can be incorporated into Corps of Engineers and Army welding guidance. Among these recommendations are: (1) Use of appropriate cleaning procedures on the joint before welding; (2) Use of push-button to control the weld contactor; (3) Use of the gas tungsten-arc welding process; (4) Use of the extended land joint configuration; and (5) Use of current limits set by the Aluminum Association and ALCOA.
