Welding Services - Mig, Tig, Spot, Brazing Services

Introduction to Welding:

MIG welding, TIG welding, Spot Welding, and Brazing are the four most generally used in the Sheet Metal Fabrication industry, and is the fulcrum of metal fabricating.

 

Metal Intert Gas (MIG) Welding is a semi automated process where a strong electric arc and a steady flow of welding material are added to the welding surface. The welder applies the weld to the correct location with the right style of movement and skill.

 

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding is slightly different in that no actual material is added to the welding surface, whereas the metal already present becomes firmly welded together. On occassion, a TIG operator will manually add a certain amount of specifically tailored material for the material surface being welded.

 

Berrien Metal also offers spot welding and brazing--even for thin, delicate hardware.

 

Quick Analysis for Reference:

 

MIG Welding: strength bonding, additional material added, used with thicker fabrications

 

TIG Welding: intermediate strength, no additional material needed in the majority of cases

 

Spot Welding: small, less-intrusive welds, oftentimes used for decorative or delicate hardware

 

Brazing: thermal bonding of brass & coppers
