Though different weld surfaces are used for welding different materials, below are the most commonly used materials in welding tables manufacturing
Of them, carbon steel is the widely used material for making a welding table. Carbon steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Next, the best option is a Stainless Steel welding table. It has chromium content which provides corrosion resistance to the table. The higher is the chromium content in the stainless steel, the better will be the corrosion resistance and shiny surface.
Cast iron mainly grey cast iron acts as an excellent surface for welding. Its high vibration damping capacity absorbs any vibration that occurred during the process and keeps the work stable. Also, it doesn’t allow any weld spatter to stick on it ensuring clean welding.
For welding of carbon steel workpieces, a welding table made of carbon steel does the work well. For welding of stainless steel jobs, an aluminum-copper alloy that is non-ferritic is suitable in making a welding table. In the case of stainless steel parts, ferritic surfaces are to be avoided. Thus, if carbon steel is used, the material sticks to the welding table and causes pitting and scratches. An aluminium-copper table has high tensile strength and low surface hardness so that there is no possibility of scratches or pitting. It has high thermal conductivity to dissipate heat quickly and also prevent spatter from sticking to the welding table.
