Sheet metal welding is a sheet metal fabrication process where two metal sheets of same or different materials are joined together. This joining is done by heating, metaling and then fusing the metal sheets. This joining is also done with or without the help of a filler material.
Arc welding or electric arc welding is one of the two basic metal welding processes. The process involves heating, melting, and joining metal sheets using an electric arc. The arc is developed using an electrode and electric current that flows from electrode to the metal sheets and back to the welding machine.
The electrode used in the arc welding may or may not be a consumable electrode. Mean it may or may not melt during the welding process. Consumable electrodes are usually used when there is a gap between plates to be filled.
MIG welding or metal inert gas welding is a type of arc welding and is one of the most used sheet metal welding processes. This process provides very high quality and high strength weld joints and thus is used in high load applications.
In MIG welding metal sheets are heated, melted and joined together using a metal consumable electrode in the presence of an inert gas. A consumable electrode is fed through a gun and an inert gas usually argon shields the welding spot.
TIG welding or tungsten inert gas welding is a type of arc welding and is also one of the most used sheet metal welding processes. Like MIG welding, TIG welding also provides very high quality weld joints.
In TIG welding, metal sheets are heated, melted, and joined together using non-consumable tungsten electrodes. A separate filler rod is used using this sheet metal welding process. The welding spot is shielded using an inert gas.
Spot welding is another type of arc welding that produces a unique type of weld joint. It produces a weld joint that joins the metal sheets at only one spot at a time. That is the reason this process is called spot welding.
It uses a set of copper electrodes and electric arc to heat, melt, and weld the overlapping metal sheets. This process is used to weld a thin metal sheet for low load applications.
Seam welding is another type of arc welding that is very similar to spot welding. Seam welding uses two copper wheels as electrodes. It heats, melts, and joins the overlapping metal sheets using electric current.
Seam welding, unlike spot welding, is used to produce a continuous seam of welding. That is the reason it's called seam welding. It is also used to weld thin sheets of metal that can be used for low load applications.
Laser welding is a type of sheet metal welding where two thin sheets of metal are welded together using a laser beam. Laser beam in laser welding, heat, metal and join the metal sheets.
This process can be done on a very thin sheet which other processes might not be able to do. This process also provides a very high precision welding thus producing very high quality products.
Known for its strength and ease of welding. Mild steel is one of the world's most used materials when it comes to welding. Mild steel welding can be done using any welding technique like TIG welding, MIG welding, and Laser Welding.
Known for its weightlessness, ductility, corrosion resistance and good strength. Aluminum is one of the most used metals in lightweight applications. Due to its low melting temperature, it is a bit tricky to do aluminum welding. At JCL a highly skilled team of welders make sure that their clients get the best aluminum welding experience.
Stainless steel is one of the steel alloys with some very special qualities. This includes corrosion resistance, high strength & ductility and safety for the food industry. That is why stainless steel is widely used in the food packaging industry. Canes and containers made of stainless steel can be welding using seam welding.

At JCL quality control at the sheet metal welding shop is done using a systematic process to ensure that welded components meet specified standards and requirements.
JCL makes sure that they have qualified welders through a certification process. Certification assesses welders ability to produce welds that meet specified criteria.
JCL makes sure their workers have high quality welding equipment. This ensures accurate control of welding parameters like voltage, current, and travel speed.
JCL has a complete set of well documented welding procedures and specifications. The documentation outlines the required materials, welding processes, parameters, and quality standards.
JCL employs several inspection methods, especially non-destructive testing methods to ensure quality of weld joints. This testing includes ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, or magnetic particle testing. These tests can detect internal defects without damaging the welded structure.
