ABOUT Welding Services
Technology: Welding Services are metal and plastics joining services usually done through the application of heat. This can be done by melting the workpieces at the joint interface to form a pool of molten material that when cooled becomes a strong joint. A filler material is often added to the "weld pool" to increase the strength of the joint. Solid State welding is the process of fusing materials on an atomic level under pressure and at temperatures below the melting point of the base material and without the use of filler material. Energy sources used for welding include a gas flame, an electric arc, a laser or electron beam, friction, magnetic pressure and ultrasound. The three major groups of welding processes include Energy Beam welding, Arc/Resistance welding and Frictional/Fusion welding. Issues to consider include:
Types of Materials to be Welded
Desired Welding Process
Welding services provides alternatives to other metal forming techniques such as casting and forging.
Advantages: Welding services can often bring expertise and experience to jobs involving difficult materials
Welding services can often offer robotic welding to increase productivity on production scale work
Welding services often staff with welders from a variety of industrial backgrounds
Some industries require certified welders
Provide additional capacity when in-house resources are already overloaded
Limitations of Welding Services
As with most services there is some loss of scheduling control
Applications: Welding services are available to handle everything from single piece repair work to complex multi part fabrications.
