Why should steel be cleaned before welded or repaired?

Steel surfaces and areas being repaired should always be cleaned before welding to prevent an adverse effect on the weld quality. Any contaminant like dirt or rust can impact the integrity of the job and lead to failure in the weld.

It’s a dirty job but needs to be done.

The Welding Shop Calgary understands the importance of making every job perfect and our commitment to a job well done sometimes comes with a bit of dusty work.
