Welding

Once the different components of a sheet metal project are cut, punched and formed; depending on the complexity and strength requirements, a suitable joining method has to be selected. Among the various joining methods such as tab joints screw joints, rivet joints; welding produces a more durable and permanent structure. There are several welding technologies that exist, at IMS we use the following methods;

MIG Welding

MIG stands for metal inert gas, which is another term for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). This is an arc welding process that uses a continuous solid wire electrode which gets fed through a head where the contact tip is electrically charged creating enough heat to melt the wire and create a weld “puddle” that joins the two metal pieces together. It provides a clean finish on a variety of metals and alloys such as stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel and also used to weld thin gauge sheet metal. MIG welding offers high productivity, produces clean weld finishes,  allows for all-position welding, and minimal cleanup.
