Q: The pictures on your “Real World” website tab are interesting. Is it a typical job?
A: The “Real World” pictures (showing the deep penetration of a burn through weld) are displayed on our website to attract attention. True butt weld joints represent most of the requests we receive. Our operators and machines are certified to weld joint thicknesses of up to 1.600 inch. The weld requirements for most assemblies are well under that thickness. Our average weld depth in stainless, inconel, titanium, copper or nickel is around 0.200 inch...with many welds in the .010 to .070.
