Why It Matters

Aluminum Demands a Different Skill Set

Aluminum isn't just thinner steel — it behaves completely differently under heat. It conducts heat 5x faster, warps easier, and is far more sensitive to contamination. A welder who's great on steel can produce terrible aluminum welds if they don't have the specific training and experience.

At Moodt Fabrication, aluminum welding is a core capability — not an afterthought. We run proper pre-cleaning protocols, use the right filler alloys for each base material, and control heat input to prevent warping and burn-through. The result is clean, structurally sound aluminum welds every time.

Our Aluminum Capabilities

  • TIG (GTAW) welding — precision work on thin aluminum
  • MIG (GMAW) welding — heavy plate and structural aluminum
  • All common alloys — 6061, 5052, 3003, and more
  • Sheet, plate, tube, angle, and extrusions
  • Repair, fabrication, and custom builds
  • Mobile aluminum welding available
What We Handle

Aluminum Welding Services

From cracked aluminum boat hulls to custom fabricated parts — we handle the aluminum work that most shops turn away.

Boat Repair

Cracked hulls, patched holes, transom damage, gunwale repairs, and structural reinforcement on aluminum boats. Michigan's lakes are tough on boats — we keep them on the water season after season.

Trailer Repair

Aluminum trailer frames, cross members, and decking. We repair cracked aluminum trailers and fabricate replacement sections — all welded with proper aluminum filler for maximum strength.

Custom Fabrication

Custom aluminum parts, brackets, mounts, enclosures, and assemblies. When you need something built in aluminum instead of steel — for weight savings, corrosion resistance, or appearance — we build it.

Automotive & Truck

Aluminum intake manifolds, valve covers, radiator tanks, oil pans, and structural components. Cracked aluminum automotive parts are repairable — and much cheaper than replacement.

Equipment Repair

Aluminum housings, covers, tanks, and structural components on equipment and machinery. When aluminum parts break or crack, we TIG weld them back to service.

Mobile Service

On-site aluminum welding with full TIG capability. If your aluminum repair can't be moved, we bring the equipment and expertise to your location. Learn more about mobile welding.

Common Questions

Aluminum Welding FAQ

Aluminum conducts heat much faster than steel, has a lower melting point, and is more prone to contamination and warping. It requires cleaner prep, tighter heat control, and different filler materials. Not every welder has the skill to do it well — we do.
We use TIG (GTAW) welding for precision aluminum work and MIG (GMAW) for heavier aluminum applications. TIG gives us the cleanest, most controlled welds on thin material. MIG is faster for thicker aluminum plate and structural work.
Yes. We repair cracked hulls, patch holes, fix transom damage, repair gunwales, and weld structural reinforcement on aluminum boats. Michigan lake life is hard on boats — we keep them on the water.
Yes — we offer mobile aluminum welding with TIG capability. If your aluminum repair can't come to us, we bring the equipment to your location. Contact us with details for a mobile quote.
We work with all common aluminum alloys — 6061, 5052, 3003, and others. Sheet, plate, tube, angle, and extrusions. If you're not sure what alloy you have, bring it in and we'll figure it out.
