Zero-Defect
Radiographic
Results.
Tungsten arcs on mil-spec steel. Armor plate and structural alloys welded under contracts where every joint earns a signature — and every signature earns a film.
47 Years of Qualification Evidence
Every certification is a weld coupon that passed. Every milestone is a contract that demanded more. This is the evidence chain — built over five decades.
AWS D1.1 Structural Certification
Established base qualifications for structural steel welding. First government contract for vehicle chassis repair under Army Materiel Command.
GTAW Exotic Alloy Qualification
Qualified for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding on titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) and Inconel 718. First aerospace subcontract under Pratt & Whitney supply chain.
NADCAP Welding Accreditation
Achieved NADCAP accreditation — the most rigorous third-party audit in aerospace and defense manufacturing. Zero findings on first audit cycle.
MIL-A-46100 Armor Plate Qualification
Qualified for High-Hardness Armor (HHA) and Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA) welding under MIL-A-46100. Primary vendor for MRAP hull repair programs.
AWS D17.1 Aerospace Fusion Welding
Achieved AWS D17.1 Class A qualification for flight-critical aerospace structures. Approved on Lockheed Martin and Boeing supplier qualification lists.
Robotic Orbital Welding Cell Commissioning
Commissioned two Miller TPS/i robotic GMAW cells with seam tracking and AVC. Orbital GTAW on pipe and pressure vessel work to ASME Section IX.
Electron Beam & Laser Hybrid Welding
Full EBW qualification under AMS 2680 for deep-penetration joints in high-strength steels. Laser-hybrid capability for armor transition joints at 0.003″ tolerance.
Let the Numbers Fight.
Published industry medians versus 12-month Forge averages. Every column is sourced. Every delta is auditable. This is the versus argument.
Radiographic Testing Acceptance
Per AWS D17.1 Class A joints — 12-month rolling average
* Industry medians sourced from AWS Quality Management Committee annual survey and Lincoln Electric Welding Productivity Report 2024.
Cycle Time vs. Industry Median
Butt joint, armor plate, 1″ thickness — MIL-A-46100 governing spec
* Industry medians sourced from AWS Quality Management Committee annual survey and Lincoln Electric Welding Productivity Report 2024.
NDT Rejection & Cost-Per-Inch
Fillet and groove welds — structural alloy steel, composite programs
* Industry medians sourced from AWS Quality Management Committee annual survey and Lincoln Electric Welding Productivity Report 2024.
Six Processes. Every Alloy.
From first-article armor plate to flight-critical electron beam joints — if it carries a mil-spec number, we have a qualified WPS to match.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
Precision TIG welding on titanium, Inconel, and stainless alloys. Used for flight-critical joints where dilution control is mandatory.
Gas Metal Arc Welding
High-deposition MIG welding for armor plate, structural steel, and large-format hull assemblies.
Electron Beam Welding
Deep-penetration vacuum welding for high-strength joints at 0.003″ tolerance. AMS 2680 qualified.
Plasma Arc Welding
Keyhole welding for full-penetration single-pass joints on stainless and duplex alloys.
Orbital GTAW Welding
CNC-controlled orbital welding for pipe, tube, and pressure vessel applications with automated AVC.
Laser Hybrid Welding
GMAW laser hybrid for armor transition joints — combines deep penetration with high deposition.
In-House NDT — No Subcontract Delays
All six major NDE methods performed on-site. Films developed, evaluated, and released within the same shift.
The Data Made the Case. Confirm It.
Two paths to qualification. One for the engineer who needs the numbers first. One for the procurement officer who needs the paperwork.
