On-site welding services

On-site welding services are perfect for tasks which cannot feasibly be managed from the shop, or maybe would improve final results being managed on-site, including maintenance and repair services to steel buildings, construction, and installation. We supply solutions for an array of steel fabrication and welding challenges. The emergency On-site service we supply is only a modest part of what SG Services is able to offer.

MMA Welding

Manual Metal Arc Welding is the most popular steel fabrication process in the majority of forms of industry. The ease and flexibility of MMA tools will allow it to be the leading solution for maintenance and repair steel fabrication.

Steel fabrications in Ashton-Under-Lyne use the following metals:

• Carbon Steel
• Low alloy steel
• High alloy steel
• Stainless steel
• Cast iron
• Ductile iron

TIG Welding

TIG Welding can be a great way of addressing on-site welding issues. Particularly in maintenance welding, it is used to repair tools and dies in components such as aluminum and magnesium.

Some of the main benefits of TIG welding are:

No sparks or spatter

Because only the necessary amount of filler metal is added to the welding puddle, no spatter or sparks are produced (if the metal being welded is clean).

No flux or slag

Because the Argon gas protects the weld puddle from contamination, no flux is required or used in TIG welding and there is no slag to block your view of the weld puddle. Also, the finished weld will not have slag to remove between weld passes.

No smoke or fumes

TIG welding does not create smoke or fumes, unless the base metal being welded contains contaminants or elements such as, oil, grease, paint, lead or zinc. The base metal should be cleaned before welding.

At SG Services our welding technicians are masters of their craft, priding themselves on producing consistently high quality work. This is particularly highlighted in our approach to all TIG work we complete.

MIG Welding

Metal Inert gas (MIG) Welding, occasionally referred to as Metal Active Gas (MAG) Welding, is a method of steel fabrication that can be semi-automatic or automatic.
This gives it a versatility and speed that make it a common choice for a lot of industry welding. The welding time in particular can make it the best solution for emergency on-site steel fabricators.

Although MIG Welding was developed for the fabrication of aluminum and nonferrous metals, it can now be successfully applied to steels.

SG Services have safety in mind for all work that we undertake. Because of the dangers in using MIG Welding in areas of air volatility, we rarely use MIG welding as a solution to any site that is outdoors.

What is the difference between MIG welding and TIG welding?

The difference between the two is the way the arc is used. MIG (metal inert gas) welding uses a feed wire that constantly moves through the gun to create the spark, then melts to form the weld. TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding uses long rods to fuse two metals directly together.
