Aerospace Micro Welding Services
Aerospace welding using percussion welding offers a butt weld made without filler. Aerospace welding often has specific requirements; ask us about your specific requirement.
The combination of the electrical arc weld between the two metals and the percussion used to force the molten materials together creates a precise weld that eliminates the need for filler metals. The micro weld is uniform around the two pieces, which leads to a strong weld, even with two different metals.

The Aerospace Welding Process
Our Percussion Welder is ready to use upon delivery. It includes the Model 726 Bench Fixture and the 858 Percussion Welder, and the option to add a Percussion Welder Monitor. In aerospace and other critical industries and applications, the Monitor provides waveform evaluation to ensure good welds or to identify inferior welds. This user-friendly aerospace weld inspection option is a part of quality control throughout the manufacturing process.
The Percussion Welder can be used for manual micro welding, or it can be fully automated to meet high volume, intricate weld needs. The aerospace micro welding services can also be customized to the specific needs of any type of welding requirement even the most delicate design applications.
To find out more about the Percussion Welder, or to talk with our team about using the micro welding in any application for the aerospace industry, call us today at 303-536-7838 or send us a message online.
