Micro Welding

Quest Industries knows you can’t be without critical components. Downtime equals lost productivity.

We determine a tool’s material composition and configuration to determine how the stress of welding will affect the tool. We never take shortcuts in pre-weld preparation just to get production equipment up faster.

Preheating the mold will prevent cracking in materials that are likely to heat stresses. When working with 7075 grades of aluminum and high-temperature steels, the parent material is prone cracking.

Whether you have a 7075 aluminum mold, D-2 die section, 17-4 P.H. stainless military part, or a prototype made out of exotic material, we have a welding solution for you.

Micro Welding

Micro TIG welding uses very low amperages and makes weld beads 0.015-in. wide or smaller. Using the water-cooled Miller Dynasty 350, we can start and control the DC weld output at 1 amp or less. The Miller Dynasty maintains stable arc at low amperages and precise arc starts at low amperages.

We work very closely with material suppliers and industry experts to make sure we are second to none when it comes to repairing and fabricating any material.
