Experience, precision, and versatility make all the difference when it comes to producing exceptional welds. At MFP, we offer a wide range of welding services tailored to the unique needs of each of our customers. Whether we’re building custom metal enclosures or tackling high-volume production runs, our welding team is up to any challenge.
A Comprehensive Range of Welding Services
MFP offers nearly every major type of industrial welding process, and we’re able to choose the best method for the job based on your part’s material, thickness, application, and project volume.
Our core welding capabilities include:
- Gas metal arc welding (GMAW): Commonly known as MIG welding, this process is widely used for various material types and thicknesses. Pulse transfer and short-circuit (also called short arc) variations are also available depending on project needs.
- Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW): Also known as TIG welding, GTAW is ideal for stainless steel, high-alloy materials, and food-grade applications where cleanliness is a priority.Â
- Submerged arc welding (SAW): This method is best for thicker materials due to its deep penetration and high deposition rate.
- Laser beam welding: A high-precision process used for specialty metals like high-nickel alloys and certain grades of stainless steel, this technique is ideal for high-purity applications.Â
Each of these welding services is performed by our team of 45 qualified welders across multiple shifts, all trained to ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Section IX standards. We also have three in-house certified welding inspectors (CWIs) to ensure everything meets exacting specifications.
Expertly Selected Welding Methods
Welding isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right process depends on many variables: base material, thickness, project size, cleanup requirements, and even the end use of the product.
For example, our robotic welding services are ideal for high-volume jobs requiring consistent, repeatable results. On the other hand, small-batch projects for custom metal enclosures may call for TIG welding or pulse MIG welding, depending on material type and design complexity.
Because our work is highly customized, we review each order carefully, considering not just the physical specs but also the operational and environmental context of the finished product. For instance, one customer who was manufacturing equipment to dry and convey gunpowder required welding methods that specifically excluded tungsten-based processes. We caught that detail in the contract phase and selected an alternative method to ensure product safety.
Built for Precision and Compliance
As a leading Louisville metal fabrication company, MFP is equipped to handle even the most demanding welding and fabrication services. Though we don’t carry an ASME U-stamp, we operate under strict internal procedures that follow the most widely recognized codes from the American Welding Society (AWS), ASME, API (American Petroleum Institute), and CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau). That means you can trust us to meet industry standards across a wide range of sectors.
We’re especially proud to serve industries ranging from food processing to energy to heavy equipment, offering not only welding but also sheet metal cutting, forming, machining services, and more—all under one roof.
Custom Solutions, Backed by Experience
With over 150 qualified ASME Section IX welding procedures, MFP is uniquely positioned to handle jobs of all sizes and complexities. We’re more than your run-of-the-mill job shop; we’re a partner who understands your needs and works closely with you to find the most efficient and effective solution.Â
