Aluminum Welding in Canada

Canada is the world's fourth-largest producer of primary aluminum, smelted on Quebec hydro into some of the lowest-carbon metal available anywhere. In Canada structural welding answers to one standard, CSA W47.1, certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau, so specifying it is shorthand for an audited, third-party-verified process.

The capability below reflects qualified Canadian shops that handle welding in aluminum.

Good to know

  • 6061-T6 is the default for general structural and bracket work; 7075 where strength matters most.
  • TIG suits thin and precision work in aluminum and stainless; MIG is faster for steel.
