About Sheet Metal Welding
It’s a sheet metal fabrication process that combines two pieces of metal with similar melting points and compositions using fusion. It is widely used in the military, energy, machinery, chemical, automotive, etc.
Advantages of Sheet Metal Welding
As modern technology develops, we mostly have to design a component with two or more sheet metal gauges. We can finish a demanding sheet metal prototype through the propoer sheet metal welding process.
MIG Weld
MIG (metal inert gas) weld is best for projects where cosmetics and weld appearance are of minimal importance due to the spatter created during welding. It is excellent for both beginners and large-scale production.
TIG Weld
It is short for tungsten inert gas. Filler material is often used for build-up and reinforcement of the weld. Like MIG welding, a gas shield protects the puddle from contaminants.
Laser Weld
The laser is autogenous (no filler wire is added), so there is a minimal buildup of weld material. This also allows for much smaller parts to be welded versus the other processes.
Material options
Moxperts offer a wide variety of certified metal and plastic materials for rapid protopypes made of sheet metals.

Finishing Services
Typically used on stainless and carbon steel and is often used as a preliminary step before painting to remove impurities and improve adhesion.
Similar to sandblasting in function, but uses abrasive brushes to clean the metal surface. It can serve as a final finish on materials like aluminum and stainless steel and is commonly used as an appliance finish.
It yields a glossy surface and is used on metals like stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. It can serve as the final finish or as preparation for other finishing processes such as plating.
It electrostatically applies a dry powder—typically a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer—to the metal surface and then cures it with heat. This is more durable than conventional paint.
Plating can be done electrolytically or electroless for various purposes. It can inhibit corrosion, improve solderability, harden a surface, prevent wear, reduce friction, or aid paint adhesion. Plating processes for sheet metal include:
Passivation coating
Chromate coating
Anodizing coating
Zinc coating
Nickel coating
Tin coating
