Marine construction involves working with a variety of metals, including aluminum and stainless steel, which are resistant to corrosion. The need for a high duty cycle is crucial for large-scale projects, ensuring continuous operation during long welding sessions.
The ability to switch between AC for welding aluminum and DC for other metals is essential. Modular designs that can be adapted for different welding environments, including outdoor and waterfront locations, are beneficial.
Given the large size of marine construction projects, the portability of the welding machine allows for easier maneuverability around shipyards and docks, facilitating repairs and construction in situ.
