WELDING & FABRICATION SERVICES

Welding involves using high temperatures to heat two pieces of metal and bond them together. Welding creates a strong joint, no matter the type of metal it is used on. Machines that carry heavy loads, buildings, and high stress environments can benefit from welding.

Brazing uses heat, filler material, and flux to join metals together. Brazing only melts the filler material, leaving neat joints without the need for cleanup. Large sections of metal can not be joined together when using brazing, because the joints are not as strong. Smaller applications like tubing and plumbing benefit from brazing.

Soldering melts a filler material at a lower temperature than welding and brazing to join two metals together. Soldering creates the weakest joints, which means they should not be used in high-stress environments. They can help hold electronics or delicate components in place without causing them to become damaged by high heat.

Welding machines can be extremely helpful for mobile jobs and in a manufacturing shop. Welding machines allow welders to complete multiple jobs in quick succession without using the wrong temperature or compromising the metal. TIG, MIG, Stick, or Multiprocess welders can be used in professional settings to achieve the strongest and visually appealing welds.

When using high heat, metal can start to warp or bend if you don’t apply it to the right areas. Warping can happen on weaker metals when soldering or brazing may have been a better option. To avoid warping, our welders will use appropriate welding parameters, the right type of welding wires, and ensure proper metal thickness before connecting pieces together.

No, some steels and other metals are two thin or fragile to be welded under the high temperatures. The chemical composition, carbon content, and other impurities in the metal will determine its weldability. Steel, stainless steel, and copper are some of the easiest metals to weld.

Yes, our welders can help provide professional insight on the best materials, structural components, and layouts that are best for your project. While all welders may not have experience with construction or structural design, they do have industry knowledge that can help your project remain durable and look cohesive.

Certifications can help give you peace of mind about the company or mobile welder you are hiring. Look for Certifications from the American Welding Society, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, or the American Petroleum Institute. While certifications and education do matter, quality work and communication with the client are also signs of a professional welder. Even if someone doesn’t have a long list of awards and certifications, they could provide quality work, especially for smaller projects.
