Welding in automotive repair
Micro TIG welding is an indispensable addition to automotive workshops, especially in the careful restoration and repair of valuable vehicles. With its unique combination of precision and versatility, it enables the production of high-quality joints on thin-walled sheet metal and light metals. And best of all, the Lampert welding process is virtually distortion-free and reduces reworking to an absolute minimum.
Adjusting the repair panel
With the Lampert welding process, any repair panel can be quickly and safely adapted and welded to the shape of the bodywork – with virtually no distortion. Even a complete in-house production and new production of repair panels is no problem. Thermal problems and material distortion are now a thing of the past.
Welding of a replacement piece
Rust holes or damage to the sheet metal? The Lampert welding process allows you to insert a repair piece into the sheet metal with virtually no distortion. The advantage: reworking is reduced to an absolute minimum and extensive reworking with filler or body filler is no longer necessary. The Lampert welding process also avoids stresses in the material and therefore guarantees a long-lasting and value-preserving repair.
Repair of cylinder head
Lampert precision welding also enables the targeted repair of cracks and defects in cylinder heads. In the video, we show the build-up welding of aluminum welding rod in an aluminum cylinder head. The deposited material forms a 100% homogeneous bond with the cylinder head – again with virtually no distortion and without thermal overload. All you have to do after the repair is have the cylinder head resurfaced and it will be ready for use again for many years.
Cracks and wear at the edges of carburetors can occur over time due to thermal stress. Simply replacing typical wear parts and seals is no longer sufficient in this case; the defects in the metal must be welded.
Nameplates and lettering in particular have a high collector’s value and are an indispensable part of valuable vehicles. Due to a lack of spare parts or high prices for such plates, repair is often the only way to achieve success. We will show you how you can repair a nameplate using build-up welding and restore it to its original condition.
