Micro Welding Services For Defense Applications
The value of our welding for defense applications lies in its unique approach. By combining an electrical arc across a pre-defined gap with the application of pressure through percussion, our system achieves a bonded, liquid molten state between the metal components, resulting in a micro weld. This weld is not only strong and precise but also eliminates the need for filler materials, streamlining the welding process.

Defense Micro Welding Requirements
Defense work often involves MIL-SPEC or other military standard requirements. Ask us about your specific requirement.
We offer percussion welding solutions for micro-welding in defense applications, catering to the precise, controlled, and specific welding requirements of small parts and components. Our percussion welding technology delivers robust and enduring butt welds, even when working with dissimilar types of metals.
Our micro welding solution for defense applications is designed to be user-friendly, allowing for manual welding operations. Additionally, our system can seamlessly integrate into automated processes, providing versatility for various manufacturing scenarios. Whether you require prototyping, small-volume orders on specific parts or components, or large-scale production, our Percussion Welder system can be used.

The Percussion Welder Monitor
Percussion Welder and the Percussion Weld Monitor can be used for defense applications, whether you are developing weld settings, evaluating production welds, or meeting QC requirements.
The Percussion Weld Monitor serves as a data collection tool to meet QC requirements. It can store weld data and waveforms for documentation and analysis.
For quality control, we offer the Percussion Welder Monitor as an additional tool alongside our welder and bench unit. This monitor promptly identifies good and no-good welds. It also offers waveform analysis to aid weld development. By studying the characteristics of different waveforms, weld settings can be fine-tuned to achieve optimal results. This allows for the creation of a “Signature” waveform that is tailored to the specific requirements of any particular product.
Defense engineering often demands the use of specialized materials that are capable of withstanding immense pressure and temperature. In order to meet these requirements, many applications involve welding together various alloys and exotic metals. Such materials require expert handling to ensure a secure and safe connection.
We work with a range of materials and a variety of metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, and titanium. When accuracy and controllable welding solutions for defense equipment are of utmost importance, turn to the knowledgeable team at Percussion Welder. Reach out to us today or send us a message online to learn more about our welding capabilities and how we can assist you in achieving precise and reliable micro welding for defense applications.

Open →FAQ
How does the weld form?
An electrical arc across a pre-defined gap melts the surfaces, and percussion pressure drives them together into a bonded molten state. No filler is needed.
Which metals do you have experience welding?
Aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel and titanium, including dissimilar combinations.
What does the Percussion Weld Monitor record?
It can store weld data and waveforms for documentation and analysis. It flags good and no-good welds and supports waveform analysis for tuning weld settings.
What is a Signature waveform?
By studying waveforms, you can fine-tune settings and build a Signature waveform tailored to a specific product, then compare production welds against it.
Can it handle both prototypes and production?
Yes. We support prototyping, small-volume orders on specific parts and large-scale production, with manual welding or integration into automated processes.
Do you work to MIL-SPEC requirements?
Defense work often involves MIL-SPEC or other military standard requirements. Ask us about your specific requirement at 303-536-7838.
