Applications
Welding
Welding is a reliable fabrication method that relies on pressure, heat, or a combination of both to fuse two or more parts, creating a joint as the components cool. The technique is best suited for thermoplastics and metals but can also be effective on wood workpieces. The completed welded joint is called a weldment.
Capabilities
- Metal inert gas (MIG) welding: In MIG welding, a consumable metal electrode uses heat from an electric arc to create a weld pool on each workpiece, fusing them to form a joint.
- Stick welding: Also called manual metal arc (MMA) welding, stick welding uses a flux-coated metal electrode as the filler material to form the weldment.
- Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding: In TIG welding, a nonconsumable tungsten electrode creates an electric arc with the workpieces, generating heat to join the pieces together.
Applications
N.J. McCutchen produces custom components through welding for the following industries:
