SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the manufacturing methods for aluminium and stainless steel, highlighting the distinct processes involved in their production. Aluminium requires AC arc welding to effectively manage the oxide film during the welding process, while stainless steel is typically welded using inert gas techniques without the need for AC. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of understanding aluminium refining and steelmaking processes to appreciate the differences in manufacturing these metals.
