Custom Aluminum Enclosures laser cut, formed, welded, painted and assembled to the highest imaginable quality standards happens every day at AMF. We are passionate about work other people fear!
AMF likes to send out customer gifts each Christmas season that are sort-of our homemade rendition of custom fabrication. One of our customer favorites over the years is the laser-cut aluminum Christmas Tree. A little hand...
People ask often, so what do you guys exactly make? The elevator pitch for that question, even though we have been considering it for years, is not an easy one. All things said, the one...
Think you know a lot about metal fabrication? Check out these three cool facts about the world of welding you may not know: Welding in space is different than here on Earth. The scientists at NASA have figured out that in space, when two pieces of metal touch each other, they fuse together. The oxygen in our atmosphere […]
Read moreTIG welding is a great skill to learn, but it can be difficult knowing how to get started. In this blog post, we’ll cover the basics of the art including form, getting the right torch angle, and some things to keep in mind as you’re welding. Proper form The most basic key to TIG welding […]
Read moreIf you’ve ever spent time working on a construction site, then you know how critical it is to have fully operational equipment. When things go wrong, an on-site field welder can save the project a lot of time and money. Here are the basics of the field welding process, in order to give you a better […]
Read moreIf you’re a welder, chances are you’ve encountered distortion or shrinkage on a project. The science behind this is relatively easy to understand but undeniably frustrating. When a weld cools to room temperature, it shrinks. The adjacent cold base metal prevents this from happening, resulting in what is called ‘residual tensile stress’. Think of it […]
Read moreCompared to MIG and TIG work, stick welding projects are a lot more amateur-friendly. Whether you’re working on a giant construction project or crawling around piping, and welding on your hands and knees, here are three easy-to-remember stick welding tips that will make a huge difference in any project. Know what kind of rod you’re […]
Read moreWelding maps are a critical component to any industrial metal project. It is easy to confuse fabrication drawings for weld maps, but in reality they are two separate components to the metal fabrication process. As a general rule, welding maps assist in identifying weld joints in a given component. This includes weld joint configuration (for […]
