Welding

In addition to the welding of conventional steel, aluminum and stainless steel, we weld non-standard metal alloys such as titanium, brass and cast iron. We do the services of soldering with tin-based alloy.

We also undertake welding repair work on gates and fences on the premises. When welding we apply a high temperature to the surface of the metal, melting it and making it easy to reform. In some cases additional material is used to help form a really strong joint.

Welding methods

MIG MAG – for conventional steel – the process melts and fuses metals using the intense heat generated by an electric arc between the metals to be joined and a filler wire (solid or flux cored). The wire is progressively melted at the same speed at which it is being fed by the wire feeder and forms part of the weld pool.

Both the arc and the weld pool are protected against atmospheric contamination by a shield of inert (non-reactive) gas.

TIG – for conventional steel, stainless steel, brass, copper and titanium – tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process which uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area and electrode is protected from oxidation or other atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas (argon or helium), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A constant-current welding power supply produces electrical energy, which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors known as plasma.

MAG – is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld. When an arc is struck between the metal rod (electrode) and the workpiece, both the rod and workpiece surface melt to form a weld pool. Simultaneous melting of the flux coating on the rod will form gas and slag, which protects the weld pool from the surrounding atmosphere.
