How to Choose the Type of Welding for Your Project

When choosing the type of welding for your project, there are a few factors you should consider, including:

• The type of metal you are using — Since different metals have different melting points, you will need to choose a welding process that is compatible with the type of metal you are using.
• The thickness of the metal — The thicker the metal, the more heat is required to weld it. You will need to choose a welding process that can generate enough heat to weld thick metals.
• The accuracy required — If your project requires a high degree of accuracy, you will need to choose a welding process that is capable of producing precise welds.
• The speed of the welding process — Some welding processes are faster than others. If you need to weld a large number of parts in a short amount of time, you will need to choose a fast welding process.
• The cost of the welding process — Some welding processes are more expensive than others. If you are working with a limited budget, you will need to choose a less expensive welding process.
• The availability of resources — Some welding processes require special equipment or training. If you do not have access to these resources, you will need to choose a different welding process.

Choosing the right welding process for your project is essential to ensuring the quality of your finished product. At ABT Metals, we can help you choose the right welding process for your project.

We have the professional capability to weld whatever you can task us with. Our trained professionals are highly skilled in MIG welding, TIG welding, and stud welding. We also have a robotic welder that can handle many different types of products. Whether you need parts welded together or require a weld in what you would like to manufacture, we can do it.

Welding projects

We have done every kind of welding service from high volume part production to individual special projects. At ABT Metals we can handle just about any welding job you can throw at us. We have had projects come from large industrial companies and also from individuals looking to have a small project done. If you have a welding project, we can get it done for you.

Types of welding we do

We can perform several types of welds with the equipment we have at our facility. All of our welding methods can be used on a wide variety of materials. This allows us to accept most projects involving the mass production of a part. These are the welds that we perform in production:

MIG Welding

We generally use our MIG (metal inert gas) welding equipment for projects that involve large or thick metal pieces. This type of welding is also usually faster than other types of welding allowing for quick lead times.

TIG Welding

Our TIG welding equipment allows us to create clean, aesthetically pleasing welds for production. Our skilled professionals are trained to achieve precise and accurate welds on every job. 

Robotic Welding

Although we still need professional welders for certain tasks, we can streamline high volume production through our welding robot. A robot cannot do some jobs as a human can, but when they are given simple production projects, they handle them very well. Robotic welding provides us with better accuracy, less material waste, enhanced safety, and increased efficiency.

ABT Metals has the capability to weld just about anything and everything. Our highly trained welders are proficient in MIG welding, TIG welding, and stud welding, as well as running “Frank”, our robotic welder. In addition to our production work, they can handle your Special Projects needs as well.
