Aluminum TIG welding is our specialty in Jacksonville. TIG gives the control to put heat exactly where it belongs, which is the whole game with aluminum. The metal moves heat fast and hides contamination, so the difference between a weld that holds and one that cracks comes down to prep, heat control, and reading the puddle. That is what a specialist brings.
Aluminum work we run
If it is aluminum and it has to hold, bring it. The jobs that come through most weeks.
Marine and boats
Hulls, T-tops, rails, tanks, and brackets. Saltwater is hard on aluminum, and marine repair is what we do most.
Tanks and piping
Fuel tanks, surge tanks, intercooler and charge piping welded leak-free and pressure-ready.
Race and chassis
Brackets, valve covers, catch cans, and one-off billet parts for street and race builds.
Repairs and cracks
Cracked castings, corroded sections, and broken brackets cut out and rebuilt to hold again.
How to tell good aluminum work
Good aluminum welds look like stacked dimes, even and consistent, with no black soot, no pinholes, and no lumpy cold spots where the metal never fully fused. Bad welds look fine for a week, then crack at the toe under the first real load. We weld for the second test, not the first. If you want the full breakdown, read why aluminum takes a specialist and how to spot good work.
How it works
Call (904) 650-7007 and tell us what the part is, what alloy if you know it, and what failed. A photo by text helps. Most fine aluminum work comes out best on the bench with good light, so we usually have you drop the part at the shop on Old Middleburg Rd. For bigger pieces that cannot move, the rig comes to you.
Common questions
- Why does aluminum need TIG instead of MIG?
- Aluminum moves heat fast and hides contamination. TIG gives the control to put heat exactly where it belongs, which is what keeps an aluminum weld clean and strong instead of porous and cracked. For most repair and fabrication work on aluminum, TIG is the right call.
- Can you weld aluminum on site?
- Yes for many jobs. Fine, detailed aluminum work usually comes out best on the bench with good light, so we often have you drop the part at the shop on Old Middleburg Rd. Call and describe it and we will tell you straight which way to go.
- What aluminum work do you do?
- Boats and marine components, fuel tanks, intercooler and charge piping, brackets, valve covers, race and chassis parts, and one-off fabrication. We also repair cracked and corroded aluminum that other shops turn away.
