In the world of custom metal fabrication, not all welds are created equal. At Astro, we specialize in high-stakes materials like stainless steel and aluminum. These metals that are as beautiful as they are unforgiving.

In this episode of "Shop Talk," we go behind the hood with Lead Welder Mitch to discuss why these materials require a specialized touch. From managing thermal input to preventing "burn out" in stainless steel, Mitch explains the fine line between a structural masterpiece and a failed joint.

What you’ll learn in this video:

The Heat Paradox: Why welding stainless steel too hot destroys its rust-resistant properties and weakens the bond.

Aluminum Intricacies: Understanding "crack pe*******on" and how to manage the melting point of one of the industry's most temperamental metals.

The Cleanliness Standard: Why we use acetone and specific abrasive cleaning protocols to eliminate porosity and contaminants before a single spark is struck.

Material Integrity: How the right filler rod and prep work ensure a weld that doesn't just look good but meets the highest structural standards.

At Astro, we don't just "melt metal together." We engineer results. Whether it’s for food processing, architectural facades, or industrial equipment, our collaborative design and fabrication process ensures that your vision is built to last.

Recently the Astro team hit the for field measuring. What did they find?? 🧐

Lots of numbers! πŸ’―
Organization is everything. πŸ‘Œ
Never assume the drawings match field conditions. πŸ“
Verify every dimension! πŸ“
Always bring printed drawings to mark up in the field. πŸ—’οΈ
Identify exact guardrail connection points before leaving the site. πŸ“
Check both sides of the stairs; elevations and stringer lengths are rarely identical. πŸͺœ
Use large prints so there’s room to capture every note. πŸ—’οΈ
Take photos to support and clarify your measurements. πŸ“Έ
Safety gear is part of the uniform πŸ‘·πŸ‘·β€β™€οΈ (and surprisingly fashionable 😝).

At Astro we measure twice so we only have to fabricate once (no one likes rework! πŸ‘) Obtaining the right field measurements makes all the difference in fabricating a precise and quality product!

That being said, they did let the marking girl hold the tape measure a few times... thanks guys πŸ˜‰ Can’t wait to see the final product installed in a few months!

Until next time, Astro Field Measuring Team signing off 🫑
