MIG, TIG, and Resistance Welding

Our staff of certified welders provides MIG, TIG, and spot resistance welding services that meet our clients' diverse project requirements. Specializing in food grade stainless welding, we possess a twenty gauge TIG capacity and an eighteen gauge MIG capacity. We can also resistance weld materials measuring up to .1875 of an inch in thickness.

At Mechanical Designs of VA, we offer full pulse MIG and TIG welding capabilities, and we can apply our advanced welding services to a wide array of materials, including aluminum, plastic, stainless steel, and titanium. Our free hand welding operations always meet AWS industry standards and high client expectations. Providing quality MIG, TIG, and resistance welding operations, we invite you to contact our company today to learn more about our products and services.

Industry Focus	Aerospace Agricultural Automotive Marine Medical Petrochemical
Intended Application	Boilers Cladding Dissimilar Metals Film Hard Face High Purity Clean room Micro Miniature Stud Narrow Groove Precision Assembly Seam Welded Tube Sensors Strip Transducers Tubular Frame
Industry Standards	AWS - American Welding Society
Arc/Resistance Welding Process	FCAW (Flux Core Arc Welding) This process uses similar equipment as GMAW but in place of standard solid wire uses wire consisting of a steel electrode surrounding a powder fill material. GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) Also known as metal inert gas or MIG welding. GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) Also known as Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. This process uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode, an inert gas and a separate filler material. This process is sometimes mistakenly referred to as Heliarc welding. MIG Metal Inert Gas welding, also referred to as Gas Metal Arc Welding. Resistance Resistance welding is a process where heat is generated by passing current through the resistance caused by the contact between two or more metal surfaces to be joined. TIG Tungsten Inert Gas welding. Also referred to as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. Under-The-Hood Under-The -Hood Welders are a type of portable welding system that is mounted "Under the Hood" of a vehicle and is connected to the vehicle's electrical system for power.
