Welding
Solutions for every industry.
J&A Manufacturing has Qualified Welders that are Certified to IAW, AWS, and multi-position Standards.
We can qualify and/or certify to your WPS depending on your needs as a customer. J&A currently has welders with certifications for GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and LBW (Laser) welding processes.
Specific welding methods and procedures are performed as specified by you, the customer. In the event that the welding specifications are not called out per contract or noted on the drawing, then general good welding practices will be followed. We will then document the process and submit it for your approval. This allows your engineering staff to take advantage of the decades of experience and wealth of knowledge that J&A Manufacturing’s Welding Team and Support Staff have to offer.
All welds are to meet the following criteria as a minimum if no further customer requirements have been specified:
Minimum dimensional requirements in regards to size and location
Size of the weld to be one material thickness minimum if not specified on the drawing
No cracks present in the weld
No visible porosity
-
As the current state-of-the-art, laser welding allows for precision welds with minimum heat soaking, all without compromising penetration.
-
As an industry standard method, MIG welding provides an easy, cost effective and balanced way to efficiently bond materials.
-
Slower but more precise, TIG welding is used mainly for Aluminum or stainless weldments. Our skilled welders can stack dimes like none other.
Our welding team has operators trained and tested in blueprint reading, interpretation of drawings, layout and measuring of welds, weld symbols, Lean Manufacturing concepts, Leadership, and Part Symmetry. We also work with calibrated machines and instruments to ensure we have control of the process inputs. Quality checklists are utilized for more complex weldments and assemblies to help insure that all Critical To Quality (CTQ) features are checked.
Weld it.
At J&A, we cross train our team to ensure labor is available when needed in other areas of fabrication and assembly. This allows us the have one of the most flexible workforces in the industry, and enables us to do more with fewer people — at a lower cost to you, the customer.
Our equipment, with all welding capabilities, facilitates flexibility in our material specialties. The primary materials that we work with are aluminum, steel, galvanized and stainless steel.
