Welding Processes

Six welding technologies to match every material, joint type, and production volume.

TIG Welding (GTAW)

Precision welds on thin materials and critical joints. Ideal for stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. Clean, high-quality beads with minimal spatter.

Best for: Aerospace brackets, food equipment, medical devices, thin-wall enclosures

MIG Welding (GMAW)

High-deposition-rate process for production welding. Faster than TIG with good penetration. Our factories use pulse MIG for aluminum and spray transfer for steel.

Best for: Structural frames, machine bases, automotive brackets, general fabrication

Robotic Welding

Automated cells for consistent, repeatable welds at high volume. Fanuc, Yaskawa, and OTC Daihen robots with seam tracking and torch cleaning stations.

Best for: Production runs 200+ units, automotive parts, repetitive assemblies

Spot & Projection Welding

Resistance welding for sheet metal assemblies. Fast cycle times, no filler material, minimal distortion. Up to 200kVA capacity for thick stack-ups.

Best for: Sheet metal enclosures, brackets, automotive panels, wire forms

Laser Welding

High-precision, low-distortion joining with minimal heat-affected zone. Ideal for thin materials and hermetic sealing. Fiber and Nd:YAG laser systems.

Best for: Medical instruments, sensors, battery housings, precision enclosures

Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

High-deposition welding for heavy structural work. Self-shielded or gas-shielded options. Excellent for outdoor and positional welding on thick plate.

Best for: Heavy equipment, structural steel, pressure vessels, pipe welding

Why Source Weldments from Vietnam?

Vietnam's fabrication shops combine world-class welding skills with dramatically lower costs โ€” and zero China tariffs.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

45โ€“65% Lower Cost

Fabrication shop rates of $12โ€“20/hr vs $75โ€“130/hr in the US. Savings come from lower labor, overhead, and facility costs โ€” not from cutting corners on welding quality.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Zero China Tariffs

No Section 301 surcharges on Vietnamese fabrications. Steel weldments from China face 25%+ tariffs โ€” from Vietnam, standard MFN rates only.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿญ

Skilled Welders

Vietnam has a deep talent pool of certified welders trained for shipbuilding, oil & gas, and structural steel. Many hold 6G pipe welding qualifications and AWS certifications.

Welding & Fabrication FAQ

What welding processes do you offer?
TIG (GTAW), MIG (GMAW), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), spot welding, projection welding, stud welding, laser welding, and robotic welding. Our factories hold AWS D1.1/D1.2 structural welding certifications and employ CWI-supervised welders.
What materials can you weld?
Carbon steel (A36, 1018, 4130, 4140), stainless steel (304, 316L, 17-4 PH), aluminum (6061, 5052, 5083), copper and brass, Inconel and nickel alloys, and titanium. Thickness range from 0.5mm thin-gauge TIG to 50mm+ heavy plate multi-pass welds.
Can you handle large weldments?
Yes. Our factories handle structural weldments up to 6 meters long and 10 tons. Heavy fabrication capabilities include plate rolling, flame cutting, plasma cutting, and stress-relief heat treatment. We have dedicated heavy weldment shops with overhead cranes up to 50 tons.
How do you ensure weld quality?
All welding follows qualified WPS/PQR procedures. NDE inspection includes visual (VT), dye penetrant (PT), magnetic particle (MT), ultrasonic (UT), and radiographic (RT) testing. Welders are qualified per AWS D1.1 or EN ISO 9606. CMM and fixture gauging verify dimensional accuracy on finished weldments.
Do you offer robotic welding?
Yes. Several factories in our network operate robotic welding cells from Fanuc, Yaskawa/Motoman, and OTC Daihen. Robotic welding is ideal for repeat production runs of 200+ units โ€” delivering consistent bead quality, faster cycle times, and lower per-unit costs.
What surface finishes are available for weldments?
Grinding and blending (smooth finish), sandblasting, powder coating, wet paint, hot-dip galvanizing, zinc plating, e-coating, and passivation for stainless. We can finish weldments to cosmetic standards or functional-only โ€” your call.
What's the typical lead time for welded assemblies?
Prototypes and first articles: 2โ€“4 weeks. Production weldments: 3โ€“6 weeks depending on complexity, volume, and finishing requirements. Repeat orders with fixtures already set up: 2โ€“3 weeks.
How much cheaper is welding fabrication in Vietnam vs the US?
Fabrication shop rates in Vietnam run $12โ€“20/hr fully loaded vs $75โ€“130/hr in the US. A structural weldment that costs $800โ€“1,200 domestically typically runs $280โ€“450 from our network. Combined with zero Section 301 tariffs, total landed savings are 45โ€“65%.
