General details
Welding joins metal parts and assemblies by fusion. It is used to build structures, frames and fabricated components.
Process
The joint is prepared and cleaned, then fused by MIG or TIG welding or by other arc processes. Filler metal may be added. The weld is usually cleaned and inspected after cooling.
Materials handled
Welding is often done on mild steel, high tensile steel, stainless steel and brass. High tensile and stainless steels are harder to weld and may need preheat or special filler metals.
Capacity
Ask about the largest assembly the shop can handle and the thickness range it can weld. Ask about the number of welding sets and the typical lead time.

Quality control
This is a general guide to what to ask for, and it is not a statement from any supplier.
Ask for a certificate of conformance for the welds. Check weld profile and penetration on a sample, and ask for a weld procedure specification if the joint is critical.
