Defense Component TIG Welding for Mission-Critical Applications

NADCAP (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) is an industry-managed certification for special processes including welding. It ensures our welders, procedures, and quality systems meet aerospace and defense industry requirements. NADCAP compliance is typically mandated by prime contractors and government agencies for mission-critical components where weld integrity directly impacts system performance and safety.

We specialize in TIG welding of stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium—the three primary materials used in defense and aerospace components. Our GTAW capabilities support various alloys within these material families, maintaining metallurgical integrity and mechanical properties required for mission-critical applications. We also work with specialized alloys based on specific defense program requirements.

Micro-GTAW uses significantly lower heat input and finer electrode control than standard TIG welding, enabling precision joining of ultra-small, thin-wall, or delicate defense components without distortion. This process is essential for aerospace instruments, medical devices, electronics housings, and miniature assemblies where conventional welding methods would damage the component or compromise tight tolerances.

Yes, we provide welding services from early prototype development through full production. During R&D phases, we work closely with engineering teams to develop and validate welding procedures. For production, we execute documented processes with certified welders, maintaining consistent quality and full traceability. This flexibility allows us to support defense programs throughout their entire lifecycle.

We provide comprehensive documentation including welding procedures, welder certifications, material certifications, inspection reports, and process traveler records. Every defense component receives full traceability documentation meeting customer and regulatory requirements. This ensures accountability and supports quality audits throughout the component's service life.

Turnaround time depends on component complexity, volume, and process requirements. For prototype and development work, we typically provide initial welding within 1-2 weeks. Production runs are scheduled based on volume and priority, with timelines communicated upfront. We understand defense programs often have urgent needs and work to accommodate critical delivery schedules.

Quality assurance begins with AWS-certified welders and documented welding procedures. We use controlled parameters, proper fixturing, and established inspection protocols. Our less than 1% defect rate reflects strict process discipline and continuous quality monitoring. Every weld is inspected against defense specifications before delivery, ensuring mission-critical reliability.

Our defense TIG welding services are primarily facility-based at our Bengaluru and Pune locations, where we maintain controlled environments, certified processes, and quality systems required for mission-critical work. This ensures consistent results and proper documentation. For specific defense program requirements, we can discuss custom arrangements based on technical feasibility and compliance needs.
