Welding Capabilities

AWS-certified welding for aerospace and defense applications — TIG and MIG processes across aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and superalloys.

— Overview

Certified Aerospace Welding

ADMI provides AWS-certified welding services specifically tailored for aerospace and defense applications. Our welders hold certifications to AWS D1.2 (Structural Welding Code — Aluminum), AWS D1.6 (Structural Welding Code — Stainless Steel), and AWS D17.1 (Specification for Fusion Welding for Aerospace Applications), enabling us to produce weldments that meet the most demanding program requirements.

By combining certified welding with our 14-machine CNC operation, ADMI offers a unique advantage: machine and weld under one roof. Components can be precision-machined, welded into assemblies, and post-weld machined to final dimensions — all without leaving our facility. This eliminates vendor-to-vendor shipping, reduces lead times, and provides unified quality control across the entire manufacturing sequence.

Every weld is performed to documented procedures, inspected per applicable standards, and delivered with complete traceability documentation that satisfies AS9100D requirements and customer-specific quality clauses.

AWS Welding Certifications

Three AWS certifications covering the materials and applications most critical to aerospace and defense programs.

Structural Welding | Aluminum

Certified for structural welding of aluminum alloys including 6061, 2024, and 7075 series. Covers fillet welds, groove welds, and complete joint penetration welds on airframe and structural components.

Structural Welding | Stainless Steel

Certified for structural welding of austenitic, ferritic, and precipitation-hardened stainless steels including 303, 304, 316, and 17-4PH. Essential for corrosion-resistant aerospace hardware.

Aerospace Fusion Welding

The aerospace-specific welding specification covering fusion welding of metallic materials for flight hardware. Includes requirements for welder qualification, procedure qualification, and production welding controls.

— Processes

Welding Processes

Expert TIG and MIG welding capabilities for precision aerospace weldments.

TIG / GTAW Welding

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

Our primary welding process for aerospace applications. TIG welding delivers the precision, control, and weld quality required for flight-critical hardware and thin-wall structures.

Precision control for thin-wall and close-tolerance parts
Superior weld quality with minimal spatter
Ideal for aluminum, stainless, titanium, and Inconel
Inert gas shielding prevents oxidation and contamination
Excellent for visible and cosmetic weld requirements

MIG / GMAW Welding

Gas Metal Arc Welding

Used for higher-deposition-rate applications where production speed and structural strength are priorities. MIG welding excels on thicker sections and larger weldments.

Higher deposition rates for larger weldments
Efficient for thicker material sections
Strong penetration for structural applications
Suitable for aluminum and stainless steel alloys
Cost-effective for production-volume weldments

— Materials

Weldable Materials

Certified welding across the full range of aerospace alloys.

— Integration

Machine + Weld Under One Roof

Unified Manufacturing Flow

ADMI’s combined CNC machining and certified welding capabilities eliminate the need to split work across multiple vendors. Components are machined, welded, and post-weld machined in a single, controlled manufacturing environment.

Pre-weld machining to preparation dimensions
Certified welding per AWS D1.2 / D1.6 / D17.1
Post-weld stress relief coordination
Post-weld finish machining to final dimensions
CMM inspection of completed weldments
Full documentation from raw material through ship

— Quality

Weld Quality & Inspection

Every weld is inspected and documented to aerospace standards.

Visual Weld Inspection

100% visual inspection of all welds per AWS criteria. Documented with acceptance/rejection disposition and inspector certification records.

Non-Destructive Examination

NDE services including dye penetrant inspection (DPI) and radiographic inspection coordinated through approved subcontractors when required by customer specifications.

Weld Documentation

Complete weld documentation packages including WPS, PQR, welder qualification records, and inspection reports delivered with every aerospace weldment.

Dimensional Verification

CMM inspection of completed weldments to verify critical dimensions, flatness, and alignment after welding and any post-weld machining operations.
