Welding Metals Warping and distortion when welding metals is a topic we have discussed before but it seems to be one of the biggest overall issues that our customers misunderstand. Welding metal materials is not “gluing” pieces of metal together, although that is sort of how it seems. Welding is basically melting metals together—for steel, […]
Read moreWelding skills are an art, and it takes some experience to get the technique down right. For those new to the metal fabrication industry, or looking for a metal fabrication company to take on an important project, it’s important to know what welders do and how they take steps to minimize weld distortion. Welders cut, shape and […]
Read moreThree of the most common welding fabrication processes used for metal fabrication are metal inert gas (MIG), tungsten inert gas (TIG) and shielded metal arc welding (Stick). Typically, metal thickness, finish, location and application determine which welding process will best benefit a particular project. MIG Welding is considered one of the easier to learn welding […]
Read moreOne of the most frequently asked questions we get here at All Metals Fabrication is whether we can weld cast aluminum or cast steel. There are a couple of reasons why this is not possible, and this blog will give a thorough, yet quick, explanation of why this is. Impurities. Impurities are the main reason […]
Read moreUnderwater welding presents plenty of health and safety hazards. There’s the potential for serious burns, damage to eyes and even explosion. These are all significant risks, but they are child’s play compared to the dangers of underwater welding. Here’s a look at the dangers that underwater welders face on a daily basis. Spoiler alert: it’s not […]
Read moreIf you have welded for any time at all, chances are good that you’ve had to deal with metal cracking. Ever wondered why cracks happen, or what you can do to avoid them? Here’s a quick look at this common metalworking dilemma. In the world of metal fabrication, cracks are a cardinal sin. They are […]
