Welding Sheet Metal - St. Anns Sheet Metal specialists
Welding is a commonly used metal fabrication process that joins pieces of materials together.
The weld, is achieved by partially melting the work pieces at a chosen point, sometimes adding a filler material, to form a pool of molten material that cools, solidifies and becomes a joint.
Types of Welding processess we offer include:
Materials - Strength - Finish
There are many aspects that affect the welding process. The metals chosen may determin a type of welding simply because of its surface reflectivity.
The strength required from a join because of loads and its expected durability.
Then there is the finish aspect, certain welds are unsuitable for fine work due to any leftover effects.

Our reputation as a quality orientated sheet metal company in materials, workmanship and customer support is recognised by an ISO 9002 accreditation.
Aluminium WeldingAluminium can be joined using the more common welding processess. The challenge is forming a solid aluminium weld with good finish. |
TIG WeldingBetween the tungsten electrode and the workpiece an arc is formed, fusing material and the filler. TIG welding with an alternating current is more commonly used. |
MIG WeldingWith MIG welding the main difference is in the electrodes. Spooled electrodes produce both arc and deposit filler material. |
