‘The work metal surfaces should be cleaned of contaminants. Dirt can be removed
easily by washing and scrubbing with a detergent solution. An effective drying
procedure is necessary to ensure that no moisture is present on the surfaces to be
welded. Removal of grease and oil can be accomplished by swabbing with solvent
soaked cloths. Suitable solvents include butyl alcohol, naphtha and acetone, and
must be used with care because they are flammable. Carbon tetrachloride and
trichloroethylene should be used only with effective ventilation and well away from
the welding area, because they compose and produce toxic fumes when contacted
by the are.
Heavy oxide layers should be mechanically removed with a wire brush, steel wool,
mil file, portable milling tool or a scrapper. The use of abrasive paper or grinding
discs alone is not recommended, because particles of the abrasive paper or grinding
discs may become embedded in the aluminum and, unless subsequently removed,
can cause inclusions in the weld. Wire brushes should have sharp bristles and
should be kept free of oil and other material. Bristles preferable should be 0.012 to
0.016 inches in diameter and of stainless steel to minimize iron oxide pick-up.
Motor driven wire brushes should be used carefully. If excess
pressure is applied,
a brushing action in which the oxide is rolled into the freshly exposed surface will
result and the weld may be of poorer quality than one made without wire brushing.

CLEANING PROCEDURES
However, enough pressure has to be used to cause the sharp bristles to break the
oxide from the surface of the aluminum alloy.
Itis preferable that degreasing and chemical cleaning be done before the parts are
assembled for welding. Cleaning after assembly can result in retention of foreign
material and solutions between abutting edges and lapped areas of the joint and
porosity and dross entrapment in the weld are likely to result. Freshly machined and
freshly filed surfaces are the cleanest and are often specified when the ultimate in
weld quality is demanded.
Defects such as porosity, incomplete fusion or cracks shall be removed before
welding is to be done. Removal can be aided by the use of dye penetrant or a
magnifier. The use of aluminum grinding wheels, carbide cutting and milling tools or
nylon wheels may be used to remove any defects. Care should be taken to escavate
the defects, leaving the area smooth and free of defects prior to welding. After
removal of defects by mechanical means, a re- cleaning of the areas as described
above shall be done prior to welding.
