Simplifying Aerospace Micro Welding Services

Aerospace welding using percussion welding offers a superior butt weld that can stand up to the demands of the application. In aerospace welding, adherence to specific welding requirements is mission critical, and our percussion welding system offers the solid weld interfaces required.

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 exceptional weld strength, even with two different metals.
