Custom Welding & Brazing Services
Strong, clean welds in steel, stainless and aluminum — from structural frames to precision stainless work and emergency weld repairs, ground and finished to your specification.

Welding done right the first time
A weld is only as good as the preparation behind it
Our welders work across structural steel, stainless and aluminum, and every weld is visually inspected before it leaves the shop. Because welding sits next to machining, we can machine critical features after welding so the finished part holds its dimensions. Why weld quality beats weld speed

Choosing a process
MIG, TIG, stick or brazing?
Each process has strengths. Here’s how they compare — we choose the right one for your material, thickness and finish.
TIG
Precise and clean — for visible welds, thin material and food-grade stainless.
Best on: Stainless, aluminum, thin sheet
Stick
Tough and forgiving — heavy sections, repairs and less-than-perfect conditions.
Best on: Carbon steel, cast iron repair
Braze
Low heat, low distortion — joins thin parts and dissimilar metals.
Best on: Copper, brass, dissimilar metals
Ratings are a relative guide, not a specification.

Reference data
Common filler metals
| Base material | Process | Typical filler | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild / carbon steel | MIG | ER70S-6 | General purpose, tolerates light mill scale |
| Mild / carbon steel | Stick | E7018 | Low-hydrogen; preferred for structural and crack-sensitive work |
| Stainless 304 / 304L | TIG / MIG | ER308L | Low carbon to resist corrosion at the weld |
| Stainless 316 / 316L | TIG / MIG | ER316L | Matches molybdenum content for chloride resistance |
| Aluminum 6061 | TIG / MIG | ER4043 or ER5356 | 4043 flows well and resists cracking; 5356 is stronger and anodizes better |
Final filler selection is confirmed against your drawing and service conditions.

FAQ
Welding questions
Which welding processes do you use?
MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW) and stick (SMAW) welding, plus brazing. We choose the process based on the material, thickness, strength requirement and the finish you need. See MIG vs TIG vs stick explained.
Can you weld stainless steel and aluminum?
Yes. We TIG and MIG weld stainless and aluminum, using the correct filler metals (for example ER308L for 304 stainless and ER4043 or ER5356 for aluminum) and finishing the welds to your requirement.
Can you repair a cracked or broken part?
Usually, yes — and it is often faster and cheaper than replacing it. We assess the crack, prepare the joint, weld it and re-machine it if needed. Read weld it or replace it? and what causes welds to crack.
Do you grind or polish welds?
Yes. We grind and sand welds and brazes to the specified finish — from ground flush to blended and polished — which matters for food-grade, cosmetic and moving parts.
Do you do on-site welding?
Most work is done in our Hamilton shop where we control quality. For equipment that can’t be moved, call us to discuss your job.
