Welding & Fabrication in Charlottetown: FAQ

What welding certifications should I look for in Canada?
CWB certification under CSA W47.1 (steel) and W47.2 (aluminum) is the Canadian standard for structural welding. For pressure vessels, ASME Section IX certification is required. Aerospace applications typically require AWS D17.1 or NADCAP welding accreditation. All providers in The Assembly network carry the certifications relevant to their specialty.
How much does welding and fabrication cost in Canada?
Shop rates for welding in Canada typically range from $85 - $150 per hour depending on the process and material. TIG welding commands a premium over MIG due to the slower speed and higher skill requirement. Complete fabricated assemblies are typically quoted per unit based on material, labour, and finishing requirements.
What is the difference between MIG and TIG welding?
MIG welding (GMAW) uses a continuous wire feed and shielding gas for fast deposition - ideal for production work on steel and aluminum. TIG welding (GTAW) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with manual filler rod for precise, clean welds - preferred for thin materials, cosmetic joints, and exotic alloys like titanium and Inconel.
Can you weld 3D-printed metal parts?
Yes. DMLS and SLM metal parts can be welded to conventionally manufactured components, though it requires careful consideration of the print material, post-print heat treatment, and weld procedure. Stainless steel and titanium 3D-printed parts are commonly welded in aerospace and medical applications.
