Leave it to the locals, City of Angels, Mobile Welding LA California

There are a very few limitations on what can or cannot be welded. Some of which take a real solid understanding of the trade. Aluminum is lightweight and has a very low melting point and a high thermal conductivity make it more challenging than steel to weld. There are some metals that are highly toxic when heated. A good example of this in everyday life would be galvanized steel. This is a very important piece of information to a hobbyist welder because people come in contact with galvanized steel all the time. It is weld-able but it has a zinc coating that can produce highly noxious fumes when heated during welding. In many cases, while welding these challenging materials may be possible, it requires extensive expertise, specialized equipment, and strict safety precautions. Always consult with a professional welder or metallurgist when dealing with non-standard materials or when unsure about the welding process.
