Welding Services - Armos Welding Service LLC
Our Welding Services
Welding is the backbone of reliable metalwork. Armos Welding Service LLC provides a wide range of welding services designed to restore, reinforce, and fabricate metal structures and components. Based in Longview, TX, and serving surrounding East Texas areas, our welding services encompass structural welding, equipment repair, precision TIG work, MIG welding for production work, flux-core welding for heavy-duty outdoor applications, and on-site hot work. We combine seasoned welders, sound safety practices, and appropriate welding procedures to ensure strong, long-lasting joints.
Our Welding Capabilities and Processes
1. Welding Processes Offered
MIG – Fast, strong steel welding
TIG – Precise thin-metal welding
Stick – Field repairs, heavy sections
Flux-Core – Outdoor welding without gas
Brazing/Soldering – Low-heat, non-structural joins
2. Materials We Weld
- Carbon steel (A36 and other structural grades)
- Stainless steel (304, 316 commonly)
- Aluminum (selected applications with appropriate prep)
- Specialty alloys consultative approach for uncommon materials
3. Shop and On-site Welding
- Shop welding: Controlled environment allows for fixtures and jigs, consistent weld quality, and cleaner finishes.
-
On-site Welding: For heavy assemblies, installed structures, or repairs that can’t be moved, performed safely with permits and fire watch as needed.
Common Welding Projects We Handle
Structural frame welding & repairs
beams, columns, braces, and plate splices.
Equipment and machinery repair
loader arms, hinges, shafts, and brackets to restore functionality.
Custom fabrication welds
assemblies, mounts, and fabricated goods that require precise welded joins.
Trailer frame & component welding
tongue repairs, cross-member replacement, frame straightening.
Agricultural repairs
plows, harrows, and implements repaired quickly to keep equipment in the field.
Railings, gates, and staircase welding
cosmetic and safety-related fabrications.
Why Professional Welding Matters
Weld quality directly affects structural integrity, mechanical function, and safety. Incorrect welds can crack, corrode prematurely, or fail under load. Professionals ensure correct weld type, penetration, and filler material, and prevent issues such as warping, incomplete fusion, or brittle welds. Additionally, welders must properly prepare surfaces, select correct electrode or wire, and use suitable shielding gases. Forgoing professional weld services can lead to costly downtime, unsafe conditions, and increased long-term expenses.
Quality Control and Weld Inspection
- Visual inspection for bead profile, fusion, and cleanliness.
- Dimensional checks to ensure parts fit and align correctly.
- Weld documentation available for commercial projects including weld IDs, material specs, and inspection records upon request.
- Needle testing, dye-penetrant, or other non-destructive testing can be coordinated for critical welds when required by specifications.
Material Preparation and Finishing
- Surface prep: grinding, wire brushed, or chemical cleaning depending on material and process.
- Joint preparation: proper beveling for thick materials and correct root gaps.
- Post-weld finishing: grinding and smoothing for cosmetic work, passivation for stainless, and readying surfaces for primer and topcoat or galvanizing.
- Corrosion protection: apply exterior coatings or coordinate hot-dip galvanizing for needed protection.
Why Our Welding Work Stands Out
- Experienced welders who match process to material and function.
- Practical approaches that lower life-cycle costs and reduce maintenance needs.
- Emphasis on clean, reliable welds that integrate with existing structures without introducing stress raisers.
- Real-world problem-solving to determine if repair, reinforcement, or replacement is the most economical, safe solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
What welding process should I choose for my project?
It depends on material, thickness, location, and cosmetic expectations. MIG is a strong all-around choice for mild steel production work. TIG is chosen for precise or thin stainless pieces, while stick and flux-core are valuable for robust field repairs.
Do you provide mobile welding?
Yes. For large structures, site-fixed equipment, or urgent repairs, our technicians perform on-site welding with necessary safety procedures.
Can you weld galvanized steel?
We can weld galvanized steel, but it requires special precautions due to zinc fumes. Typically, we grind galvanizing away from the weld zone, weld, then reapply protective coatings or coordinate spot galvanizing. Safety measures are used during the process.
How do you ensure weld strength?
We control joint prep, welder selection, filler material, and welding parameters. For critical welds, we perform additional inspections and coordinate non-destructive testing if required.
