Premium Services We Offer
Welding
Here at Ameriflex, we take welding seriously. We hold numerous ASME welding certifications and offer TIG (tungsten inert gas), plasma arc, resistance, and seam welding capabilities to join many types of metals, including titanium, Hastelloy, stainless steel, and other high-nickel alloys.
We use manual, orbital, and automated robotic welding equipment to produce welds of superior quality and mechanical strength. Each of our professional welders has years of experience in creating low-distortion, visually appealing welds. All of our welds are subject to helium leak detection testing to guarantee leak-free design.
Our welding capabilities may be used in metal/alloy fusion processes to enhance structural integrity with cold filler metals, for full penetration welds, and for other purposes. Our equipment and expertise enable us to create welds that match the quality and reliability of our manufactured products.
Contact Ameriflex for more information on our wide-ranging welding capabilities and how they can improve your precision machined parts and components.
Helium Leak Detection
Helium leak detection is among the most reliable and effective testing methods available for testing the structural integrity of welds. It is a crucial process that has helped make us a leading manufacturer of vacuum assembly components.
Using helium mass spectrometers, we perform vacuum leak detection tests on all our welded parts and components. These precisely tuned, high-tech machines are sensitive to even the smallest leaks and are highly effective for testing large, complete systems and small, individual parts. Ameriflex guarantees each and every vacuum part will be functional and leak-free when it arrives at your location.
