Sheet metal welding

TIG, MIG and spot welding with the heat control and finishing that keep a welded assembly straight, strong and clean.

Metal welding and fabrication
The right process and sequence keep welded parts flat and sound.

Welding turns separate pieces into one assembly, but it also puts heat into thin sheet — so the real skill is joining the parts soundly without warping them. Process choice and weld sequence matter as much as the weld itself.

Quality & finish

Welded assemblies usually start as laser-cut, bent parts and finish with powder coating.

Frequently asked questions

Which welding process do you use?

TIG for thin, clean, precise welds (stainless, aluminum, visible joints); MIG for faster, higher-deposition welds on thicker steel; spot welding for sheet-on-sheet assembly. We pick by material, thickness and how the weld must look.

How do you control distortion?

Heat warps sheet metal. We control it with fixturing, balanced weld sequences, stitch welds instead of continuous beads where possible, and by choosing the lowest-heat process that gives a sound joint.

Can you make welds invisible?

Yes — welds can be ground and blended flush, then the surface finished so the joint nearly disappears. This adds labor, so we confirm where a cosmetic weld is actually required.

Do you weld aluminum and stainless?

Yes, both — TIG is standard for aluminum and for clean stainless joints. For stainless that must stay corrosion-proof at the weld we use low-carbon (L) grades and passivate afterward.
