MIG & TIG Welding
Turn separate metal components into frames, housings, guards, and welded assemblies. K-Display provides MIG and TIG welding in-house, connected to the cutting, forming, finishing, and assembly your product needs.
Two processes. Different kinds of control.
MIG and TIG welding use an electric arc to melt metal at a joint and fuse parts together. MIG feeds filler wire continuously, making it useful for efficient welding. TIG allows separate control of heat and filler, useful when the joint calls for close control of the weld pool and appearance. The part determines the choice.
Process choice alone does not define weld strength or appearance. Material, joint design, required weld size, and finished contour give the welding review a useful starting point.
From formed sections to joined assemblies
Welding creates permanent connections where separate cut and bent components need to function together.
- Frames and weldments
- Machine housings and guards
- Enclosures and panels
- Fabricated subassemblies
The weld and the finished surface
A visible enclosure corner and a concealed support have different requirements. We connect joint fit, access, weld contour, and coating before welding begins, with finishing and final assembly handled under the same roof.
Establish the joint requirements
We identify weld locations, material, thickness, required size, appearance, and acceptance criteria from the assembly package.
Fit and weld the components
MIG or TIG is selected for the joint unless your drawing specifies the process. Fit-up and welding sequence account for access, alignment, and distortion.
Prepare for the finished product
Specified blending or grinding, coating, hardware, and assembly continue from the weld requirements, including the surfaces your customer will see.
Materials and weld requirements
Both processes use shielding gas to protect the molten weld pool. MIG uses a consumable wire electrode; TIG uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode, with filler added separately when needed. Neither process is universally stronger: material, joint design, weld requirements, and service conditions matter.
We weld carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Share the grade, thickness, joint details, and quantities, including any required process, inspection, or code criteria.
- Materials
- Carbon steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum
- Production fit
- Prototype, short-run, and repeat-production fit is reviewed with the drawing package.
Design for access and fit
Show where the torch must reach, including internal corners that become difficult to access after surrounding parts are installed. Include mating components so flange clearance, hardware locations, and assembly order can be considered together.
Welding heat can move a part as the joint cools. Identify critical flatness, alignment, and fit requirements rather than assuming the unwelded dimensions will remain unchanged. Joint preparation, fit-up, and welding sequence help manage distortion.
Mark visible faces and state whether welds may remain as welded or require blending or grinding flush. Keep the required weld size and finished contour clear. If a process is not mandatory, describe the function and appearance so K-Display can recommend an approach.
The corner weld sits below the mounting flange. Plan the welding sequence to preserve torch access and keep the cover mounting holes aligned.
