Material
Carbon steel
Good candidate when distortion, speed, or repeatability is limiting MIG/TIG output.
Send: grade, thickness, joint photo, max gap.
Capability Map
Match the part to a welding route.
Use this page to check material, industry, joint, and process fit before sending a drawing or sample. The real decision still depends on thickness, gap, inspection target, and cycle time.
Materials
Start with metal, thickness, and fit-up.
Material
Stainless steel
Strong fit for sealed assemblies, food equipment, exhaust parts, and cosmetic welds.
Send: 304/316 grade, leak or appearance requirement.
Material
Aluminum alloys
Needs review for surface condition, wire feeding, shielding, and deformation risk.
Send: alloy, temper, coating, fixture photo.
Material
Titanium alloys
High-value parts need tight shielding control and inspection-led parameter development.
Send: grade, wall thickness, shielding standard.
Material
Copper alloys
Reviewed carefully because reflectivity and heat conduction change power demand.
Send: copper type, joint design, electrical or leak target.
Material
Dissimilar metals
Feasibility depends on the material pair, intermetallic risk, filler strategy, and joint layout.
Send: both materials, thicknesses, section view.
Industries
Use the industry as context, then review the actual part.
Industry
Battery packs
Cooling plates, trays, busbars, frames, sealing, distortion, and repeatable fixturing.
Useful input: leak target, material stack, volume.
Industry
Aerospace
Private review is best because materials, inspection, shielding, and disclosure limits vary.
Useful input: standard, material, wall thickness.
Industry
Medical devices
Small welds, cleanliness, repeatability, and low heat input around precise parts.
Useful input: weld length, sealing or cosmetic standard.
Industry
Kitchen & bath hardware
Best when stainless appearance, reduced polishing, and leak prevention matter.
Useful input: visible face, post-polish step, thickness.
Industry
3C electronics
Miniature weld size, thermal sensitivity, clamping, accuracy, and cycle time.
Useful input: heat-sensitive zones and tolerances.
Industry
Automotive parts
Part families with volume, takt-time pressure, distortion issues, or manual variation.
Useful input: annual volume, target cycle, current process.
Industry
Construction machinery
Long seams, thick sections, large access windows, and hybrid welding candidates.
Useful input: plate thickness, seam length, gap range.
Processes & Joints
Choose the process after checking gap and inspection risk.
Process
Autogenous welding
No filler wire. Best when the joint is consistent and fit-up is tight.
Check first: gap, thickness, strength target.
Process
Wire-fed welding
Use when added material helps bridge gaps, shape the bead, or improve strength.
Check first: wire material, gap range, bead size.
Process
Laser-arc hybrid welding
Best for thicker parts or fit-up reality that bare laser welding cannot tolerate.
Check first: thickness, penetration, seam length.
Joint
Butt joints
Edge preparation, gap consistency, and inspection target drive the welding route.
Send: edge photo, max gap, section target.
Joint
Fillet welds
Robot access angle, weld leg, clamping, and wire feeding decide feasibility.
Send: corner geometry and required weld size.
Joint
Lap welds
Useful for sheet assemblies when clamping and surface requirements are controlled.
Send: overlap width, layer thicknesses, visible face.
Joint
Tailor welded blanks
Reviewed around material pair, thickness transition, weld length, and downstream forming.
Send: material pair, thickness pair, forming target.
Cutting
Laser hole cutting
Useful when the same robotic cell can support holes, slots, or contours near weld work.
Send: hole size, tolerance, edge requirement.
Cutting
Robot 3D cutting
Useful for pipes, tubes, curved parts, or large structures that need 3D contour access.
Send: 3D model, cut path, material, part photo.
Next Step
Do not guess from the category name.
Send the material, thickness, joint photo, target cycle time, and inspection requirement. We will recommend service validation, system planning, or a simpler route.
