Welded Aluminium

Welded aluminium refers to the process of joining aluminium pieces together by melting the metal at the joints using a welding method such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) or MIG (Metal Inert Gas). Welding aluminium is notably different from welding steel due to aluminium's lower melting point and higher thermal conductivity.

Regarding its scent profile, welding aluminium itself does not emit a distinct aroma from the metal. However, the process of welding can produce various odors primarily from the materials used alongside the metal, such as oils, coatings, or residues burning off due to the high heat. Additionally, the type of welding gas used can also influence the odors experienced during the process. For instance, using argon or helium gases typically doesn't contribute much smell, but any impurities in the metal or the shielding gases can produce slight acrid or metallic odors. Overall, the scent can be associated with a hot, metallic, sharp smell resulting from the intense heat and any consumables used in the welding process.
