Welding

Progressively Aerostrutture has built a centre of excellence capable of welding all the alloys of aluminum, steel and titanium. The welding machine in use, Sciaky, has been joined by TIG welding machines, so today Aerostrutture is qualified for the welding of:

  • steel from 1 to 6 mm, diameter >25.4 mm
  • aluminium from 0,60 mm to 3,60 mm, diameter >12,7 mm
  • stainless steel from 0,67 to 4 mm, diameter >25,4 mm
  • depth 0.5 mm and diameter 6 mm
