Build-to-print process

Built to print.Stress relieved.

  • Every weldment is quoted and manufactured from a confirmed customer drawing
  • Heavy plate fit-up, welding and reinforcement for complex structures
  • Post-weld annealing available to reduce residual stress before machining
  • Shot blasting removes mill scale and prepares the surface for finishing
  • Dimensions, datums, weld requirements and inspection points confirmed before production

What to specify

A confirmed drawing is required before quotation and production.

In production

Annealed.Shot blasted.

After welding, the assembly can be annealed to reduce residual stress before final machining. Shot blasting removes scale and leaves a clean, uniform surface ready for inspection and the specified finish.

Questions

Custom Steel Weldments questions

If your question is not here, send it over — practical answers are usually faster than a specification sheet.

Do you need a drawing to quote a custom weldment?
Yes. A dimensioned drawing is required because plate thickness, weld size, tolerances, datums, heat treatment and inspection points all affect the manufacturing route and price. Send the drawing together with the required quantity and destination.
Why is the weldment annealed after welding?
Welding introduces residual stress into a large fabricated structure. Post-weld annealing reduces that stress before final machining, helping the structure remain stable when material is removed from critical faces.
What does shot blasting do?
Shot blasting removes loose scale, rust and surface contamination after fabrication and heat treatment. It leaves a clean, uniform surface ready for inspection and any specified primer, paint or other finish.
What information should be included with the drawing?
Include material grade, plate thicknesses, overall dimensions, weld symbols, tolerances, machining datums, heat-treatment requirements, surface finish, quantity and delivery destination. We will review any missing points before production.
