Welding Services
At A1 Machining and Welding we specialize in Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Carbon Steel welding.
We can weld new parts to specifications, fabricate per drawings, and repair or modify existing parts.
TIG - Tungsten Inert Gas
Also knows as GTAW or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding use a non-consumable Tungsten electrode and filler material is added by hand or base materials are fused together. TIG welding can be used to weld a wide variety of metals. This process is superior to MIG (GMAW) especially on Stainless Steel and Aluminum.
MIG - Metal Inert Gas
Also know as GMAW or Gas Metal Arc Welding which uses a wire spool as the electrode that gets consumed to make a weld. One of the most common welding types used mostly on Steel Welding. However we provide MIG Stainless Steel Welding with Stainless Steel wire and Tri-Mix Shielding gas. We can also weld Aluminum with Aluminum wire and 100% Argon gas with a spool gun. Both Stainless Steel and Aluminum MIG welding are used more in production runs where welds bead quality are not of importance.
Other Welding Types
We also provide a other welding types that are less commonly used:
- Oxy-fuel or more specifically Oxy-Acetylene welding and Flame cutting.
- Stick welding- SMAW or Shielded Metal Arc Welding
Metal Fabrication
CNC Machining
Our in-house CNC milling and turning capabilities allow us to meet demanding customer print specifications with precision and consistency. We are equipped to produce complex, tight-tolerance components while maintaining accuracy in most applications up to ±0.0005". From prototypes to production runs, our machining expertise ensures quality parts that meet exact engineering requirements.
Cutting
We have many resources to cut metal from handsaws, laser, water jet, and plasma cutting.
Sheet Metal Forming
We have the resources and expertise to form and fabricate sheet metal to meet our customers’ exact print specifications. Our capabilities allow us to produce formed components with attention to detail, quality, and consistency, ensuring each part meets required dimensions, tolerances, and project requirements.
Metal Sanding and Buffing
We provide rudimentary metal sanding, and buffing/deburring, blending.
