Welding and fabrication services are crucial when transforming raw materials into finished metal products. Whether you’re working with carbon steel, aluminum or titanium, Astro Machine Works is the welding and fabrication company that manufacturers trust for complex, custom projects.
For over 40 years, we have been delivering high-precision metal fabrication and steel welding services for one-off prototypes, short runs and production assemblies across various industries.
Applications of Custom Welding and Fabrication
We have experience creating a wide range of metal structures, from large-scale components to intricate assemblies. We can work with you to make the solution you’re looking for.
At Astro Machine Works, our team has expertise spanning industries and materials:
- Industries served: We have worked with industries like aerospace, energy and military.
- Materials expertise: We can work with materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum and more.
- Structural capabilities: Our team has experience crafting shapes like angles, beams, channels and tubes.
When you provide us with your blueprint or your machined parts, our team can begin welding and fabricating. With full-service capabilities, we can guide you through the entire manufacturing process of your custom metal structure, from fabrication to welding and finishing.
Our Welding and Fabrication Offerings
Fabrication and welding are two parts of the process of creating a metal product. Fabrication comes first, turning raw or partially finished materials into finished parts. Metal fabrication involves shaping metal in sheets or other forms into a part that can be crafted into a metal structure. In welding, we permanently join the materials we have fabricated using heat or pressure. This stage forms final products, from pipe fittings to automotive parts and tools.
Astro Machine Works can perform one or both of these services for you, depending on your project’s needs.
Advanced Welding Processes
We offer three primary welding services:
- MIG welding: Suitable for a range of applications, MIG welding is an efficient process for welding common materials like steel and aluminum.
- TIG welding: A high-precision option, TIG welding produces clean and strong welds for more complex or intricate jobs and thinner materials.
- Orbital welding: In this process, a machine rotates a welding torch around a stationary object for consistent, repeatable welds each time.
Comprehensive Fabrication
In addition to welding, we offer fabrication services like:
- Cutting: We can take raw metal in sheets or tubes and cut them into the shapes needed for your design, using methods like wire EDM machining.
- Machining: After we cut a basic shape, we can refine it with more complex features, such as holes and smoothed edges.
- Forming and bending: We can shape your parts by forming and bending them into the correct structure.
