Welding

Professional joining technology for precision assemblies

Many precision engineering projects require more than just machining. Welded assemblies are essential in hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical engineering, and countless industrial applications. At Atlas MBD, our welding capability seamlessly integrates with our CNC machining, allowing us to deliver complete assemblies from concept to delivery.

Welding Processes

We specialise in two proven, versatile welding technologies:

MIG/MAG Welding

Metal inert gas welding is ideal for steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. Fast, reliable, and excellent for achieving consistent weld quality in production settings. We use shielding gas selection tailored to each material.

TIG Welding

Tungsten inert gas welding provides superior control and is preferred for critical welds, thin materials, and non-ferrous materials including aluminium and titanium. Excellent for applications requiring the highest weld quality.

Welding Capabilities and Applications

Our welding services support:

  • Structural assemblies and subassemblies for mechanical systems
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic manifolds and components
  • Pressure vessel components (with appropriate certification where required)
  • Tank and enclosure fabrication
  • Prototype development and design validation
  • Series production of welded assemblies
  • Repair and rework of existing components

Combined Welding and CNC Machining

Our greatest advantage in welding is integration with CNC machining. Rather than ordering welded components and then sending them out for machining finishing, we handle both in-house. This means:

Single Quality Standard

One team controls both the welding and machining. No quality handoffs between suppliers, no risk of miscommunication about tolerances or finishing.

Faster Delivery

Parts proceed directly from welding to machining without external logistics. Lead times are compressed, and scheduling is simpler.

Cost Efficiency

Integrated manufacturing eliminates intermediaries and reduces handling. Your cost is lower than managing multiple suppliers.

Design Flexibility

We can suggest design optimisations that leverage both welding and machining. Parts are engineered for manufacturability and cost.

Materials

We weld:

  • Carbon steel and alloy steel
  • Stainless steel (1.4301, 1.4305, 1.4404, duplex grades)
  • Aluminium and aluminium alloys
  • Titanium and specialist materials on request

Quality and Standards

Our welding work is carried out to established industrial standards. Welders are qualified to DIN EN 287-1 and follow ISO 9606 practices. All welds are visually inspected and documented. For critical applications, radiographic or ultrasonic testing can be specified.

Frequently Asked Questions

What welding processes do you use?
We specialise in MIG/MAG (metal inert gas) and TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding, the most versatile and reliable processes for precision manufacturing. These processes provide excellent weld quality, repeatability, and can handle a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
Can you weld different materials like steel and stainless steel?
Yes, we can weld steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other materials. Different materials require different electrode selection, shielding gas, and process parameters. We adjust our approach for each material to ensure a strong, quality weld.
Do you carry out post-weld finishing?
Yes, after welding, parts can be finished through grinding, machining, or surface treatment as required. Because all these processes are in-house, we can proceed directly to finishing without shipping parts externally.
Can you combine welding with CNC machining?
Absolutely, this is one of our key strengths. We can fabricate welded assemblies and then machine them to final dimensions and specifications in one facility. This integration ensures quality and efficiency.
What weld quality standards do you follow?
Our welders are trained and qualified to DIN and ISO standards. Welds are inspected for visual quality and fit. Critical welds can be radiographically tested or ultrasonic tested if required by your specification.
