Welding 101
Not sure what the job needs? Describe the problem and we'll tell you whether it's a repair, a new part or both.
Welding joins metal with heat. The edges of two pieces are melted, usually with a filler metal, and fuse into one solid piece as they cool. A sound weld can be as strong as the metal around it.
Fabrication is building something from raw metal: cutting, bending and fitting plate, tube and angle, then welding it together. It's how a bracket, a rack or a replacement part gets made.
A cracked bucket, broken frame or worn attachment can often be welded back into service instead of replaced, usually for less money and less downtime. If a part is discontinued, it can be fabricated.
Steel, stainless steel, aluminum and cast iron each weld differently. Matching the process, filler and heat to the metal is what keeps a repair from cracking again.

Western Equipment Repair115 54th Ave E, FifeOpen in Google Maps(opens in a new tab)About Western
Western Equipment Repair & Welding Inc. was founded in Fife, Washington in 1986. About 40 years later, we're still a small Fife shop doing the same work: welding, custom fabrication and equipment repair for businesses and individuals across Washington State.
That's a long run in this trade. In Pierce County, where the median business has been open about 14 years, Western has operated significantly longer than many welding companies, both here and across the U.S.
Being small means you deal directly with the people doing the work. Send us the details and we'll review the job and let you know the next step.
