Yes, you can weld rusty metal—but it's not as simple as it sounds. You can't just fire up your welder and go. Rust needs to be removed or treated to get a clean, strong weld. I've done it on everything from old gates. The welding process modifies the steel itself and adds impurities that cause the weld area to start to oxidize (rust) almost immediately. Each weld point provides a location where rust can start forming right after the welding process. If the zinc coating is applied before the welding, as it is. Cable tray welding is essential for ensuring the structural stability of cable tray systems in industrial and commercial wiring setups. Unfortunately, this approach introduces a fundamental corrosion problem. With its multiple production centers and international presence, Legrand has undertaken a 10-year program of full-scale tests on various continents.
