What are the challenges of achieving consistent welds in aluminum outdoor chairs?
Achieving consistent welds in aluminum outdoor chairs presents several challenges due to the unique properties of aluminum. First, aluminum's high thermal conductivity requires precise heat control to avoid warping or burn-through. Second, its oxide layer must be properly cleaned before welding to prevent weak joints. Third, aluminum is prone to cracking if cooling rates are uneven. Additionally, outdoor furniture demands corrosion-resistant welds, which adds complexity. Skilled welders must use techniques like TIG or MIG welding with the right filler metals to ensure durability. Proper joint design and post-weld treatments are also critical for long-lasting results in harsh weather conditions.
