This guide provides information on proven processes, techniques, and procedures for welding aluminum hulls and related ship structures. The information presented applies chiefly to the welding of aluminum hulls that are over 30 ft (9 m) in length and made of sheet and plate 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) thick and greater. Thin-gage aluminum welding usually requires specific procedures in the area of fixturing, welding sequence, and other techniques for distortion control that are not necessarily applicable to thick plates. Similarly, the choice of welding process or applicable process conditions, or both, also differs according to thickness.
