Jaytech Welding

True story! If Haley had been born a boy, well, you know the rest! That makes it even more fitting that she did almost all the welding on this Harley Davidson motorcycle frame. Our customer's client wanted this old bike she's had for decades modified. Haley had fun doing what she does best (hint: it's steel and stainless) and made this bike frame something beautiful that it's rider will be proud to keep riding for decades to come! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=566

This exhaust system had leaks coming from where these two band clamps were holding the pieces together. Our customer wanted the whole thing welded solid so the clamps could be removed. Of course with this being a stainless steel exhaust, we needed to purge it with argon to keep the inside of the pipes from getting corrosion on the back side of the weld. We love doing work like this, if you have any exhaust systems in need of repair, bring it on in! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=561

This post is a bit late, but one of the things Haley did to keep herself busy this past Christmas was making Christmas tree ornaments! She got the help of Peggy, who programmed the cut patterns on the computer, and Terry, who used the plasmacam to cut out the shapes. Haley used stainless steel filler rod to decorate the ornaments with patterns, stripes, trees, snowflakes, and even Santa! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=553

Here is just a couple of examples of some of the exotic metals we frequently work with. The first is the repair of a crack on a titanium exhaust. These always need to be purged with argon to ensure there is no corruption on the inside! The second is a large piece of magnesium that needed holes filled. Titanium can be welded using a direct current, similar to steel/stainless steel alloys, whereas magnesium needs an alternating electrical current, like aluminum. But it is imperative that you use the correct filler rod! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=549

Recently the shop was occupied by a statue of a woman made entirely out of steel washers! She had fallen down and broken her leg off with a bunch of pieces missing. We carefully put her back together using all the pieces our customer could find and also added a few of our own washers to reinforce her leg so she wouldn't break again! We think she looks pretty good considering she had already been missing her head! (Her other leg had already been missing too) http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=545

These stainless steel sprockets are one of Haley's favorite things to do! Super tiny steel welds are what she's best at. We are grateful for our loyal customers who keep bringing in these familiar jobs and keeping us busy during these difficult times. http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=533

Remember all those trusses we did a while back? We just completed some more work for this customer! The first thing you see here is these bezels. They are meant to go around the rim of a box to prevent damage in case any accidents should occur. The second thing is these plates. We machined all these holes manually. Each component gets a front and a rear plate, which you see here. Both of these jobs were made from aluminum - our specialty! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=529

We are so glad to stay open during this COVID-19 crisis because of jobs like this! Last week we made 1,000 of these aluminum posts which will hold up glass as a barrier at cash registers in grocery stores. We are so grateful to be able to provide these products to help protect fellow essential workers! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=525

This large sculpture is something we had in the shop recently. It will have lights strung through it and will be hung on the side of a building. We included an picture of another one that is already mounted so you can get an idea of what it will look like. The angles the bars sat at and the way they all laid within each other proved to be an interesting challenge! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=521

Being that we are a part of the manufacturing of defense and medical supplies, we are staying open during these uncertain times. However, we are taking extra precautions to keep all of our employees safe! We are practicing social distancing by staying at least 6 feet away from each other, which, luckily, is easy for us with our small number of employees and the size of our shop! Our office manager, Peggy, is also taking some time off of office work to sew masks for all of our workers and their families! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=517

This is a picture we forgot to post when we had this thing in the shop! This massive structure took a lot of man power and a lot of hours. It's a perfect example of not only our welding skills, but also our fabrication skills. We built this whole thing from scratch, starting with bringing in the material lengths and cutting/angling it to size. [ 47 more words ] http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=512

We had a first time customer in who needed these small fractions welded together. These are mailbox markers! These were especially difficult because of how thin the material was. The thickness of the stainless steel was only 1/8th of an inch. Along with how small these cut outs were, we really had to focus to not melt all the way through and destroy the numbers! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=509

We had one of our returning customers in the in the shop again recently. These spindle flange assemblies involve an operation on the turntable, which we love! Having these parts being rotated while we weld allows us to lay down a beautiful weld without stopping and starting! Another thing we get to use on these parts is ER312 filler rod, which is our favorite stainless steel rod. We call it Super Missile Rod because it can be used to weld unknown or dissimilar alloys of steel or stainless steel! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=505

Here we have some medium size structures. These frames are about 2 1/2 ft tall by 2 ft wide and 1 1/2 inches thick. We laid down some huge weaves to hold these beasts together. Made from 6061 aluminum, as usual! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=500

We just completed an order of our popular aluminum cornerblocks. The only reason we don't get more orders of these than we do is because they are unbreakable! Once you have them, you have them forever. We perfected this design many years ago, and have been doing them the same ever since! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=496

This is approximately 240 lbs. of solid ,magnesium, which just so happens to be one of the exotic metals that we can work with. With magnesium being even lighter than aluminum, at 240 lbs. you know this weldment had to be huge! It consisted of two 3" x 3.5" bars attached to a 1.5" thick plate, all 40" long. The welds wrapped all the way around the bars. in all it was about 175 inches of weave welds! Not bad, huh? http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=492

We always love walk-in repairs! Today we got to do some corrosion repair on an aluminum casting! This is an automotive timing chain cover, and now it's as good as new! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=488

We love when structures like these come in because we get to show off our aluminum TIG welding skills! Whether our customer is asking for a weave or a nice stack of dimes, they always leave happy! http://jaytechwelding.com/?p=484
