Highly Skilled Team of Certified Welders on Staff

The Metal Fabrication Services (MFS) Division of Eberl Iron Works has a number of highly skilled welders on staff. Our senior welder has been welding with us for more than two decades and brings invaluable knowledge and experience to our team.

Our staff includes fully certified welders who specialize in MIG welding operations. Although our welding department is not limited to MIG welding alone, we generally prefer it because it increases speed and job efficiency, allowing us to turn your order around that much more quickly.

Additionally, MIG welding is a very versatile form of welding and can be used to successfully weld every thickness of metal. It creates a strong, lasting bond on everything from fine, 26 gauge sheets to thick structural plates.

Ask Us About Other Welding Services Available

Here at Eberl Iron Works, we don’t just do MIG Welding. Our team of highly skilled welders are competent in many other forms of welding, including TIG Welding, Spot Welding, Stick Welding and more. Be sure to let us know if your custom job requires a custom approach. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your special request.

Employing a Robot Welder for Fast, Precise Welds

Metal Fabrication Services has added Cobot Welding to our ever-expanding list of service offerings.

With the recent purchase of our Vectis Standard-Duty, Air Cooled Welding Cobot we have the ability to turn out clean, accurate, consistent, high quality welded parts faster than ever before. Employing welding robots allows us to boost our productivity, by increasing the efficiency of repetitive welding jobs, and ultimately lower costs to our customers.

Faster Production Equals Shortened Lead Times

Automating welding production with the use of a robotic welder has also helped us speed up production to shorten our lead times even further. We are now able to complete the same job as much as four times faster and get parts out the door, and to where they’re needed, in much less time.

Introducing Our Newest Acquisition!

Eberl Iron Works has added in-house Stud Welding services to our Metal Fabrication department’s ever-expanding list of offerings.

Our Nelson Nelweld Model 6000 Stud Welder was purchased in early 2023 and the sparks have been flying ever since! With a dual gun system configuration, we are able to securely fasten studs to metal in a fast, clean, and consistent process that lends itself perfectly to assembly-line style manufacture of embed plates, weld plates and more!

Machine Capabilities / Duty Cycle:

Rated at continuous operation

Dual NS 20 N HD stud welding guns are able to be operated concurrently, which means we can knock your project out in a fraction of the time that it would take with more traditional welding techniques.

Red Iron Oxide Primer Coating

A Cost Effective Way to Protect Against Corrosion

During the hot dip galvanization process, steel is submerged in a vat of molten zinc. The iron in the steel bonds with the zinc and forms a protective coating that prevents moisture from making contact with the steel. This protects the metal from corrosion and rust.

In addition to hot dipped pieces being both rust and abrasion resistant, they also require no maintenance. Once dipped, steel parts and channels should remain rust free for life, making them perfect for high moisture and/or outdoor applications.

A Little Bit About the Process

Before the steel can be dipped, it must first be properly prepared to ensure maximum adhesion of the zinc coating. First, the steel is cleaned, degreased, pickled – to remove any scale or rust – and finally it is fluxed. Only then can the steel be dipped.

Steel is typically introduced to the molten zinc bath at an angle so that no air pockets can form in the coating. Otherwise, air pockets might mar the finish as well as reduce its efficacy and corrosion resistance factor.

A More Durable Surface than Paint

Powder coating metal surfaces provides more resistance to chipping, scratching, and other wear than painting does. This is because the powder coat is thermally bonded to the metal during the curing (or baking) process. Powder coatings can also be applied in much thicker layers than paint can, which provides even more protection.

Powder coated surfaces are much more resistant to damage caused by impacts, moisture, chemicals, ultraviolet light, and weather than painted surfaces.

About the Powder Coating Process

Powder coating is a dry finishing process where a fine powder, consisting of pigment and resin particles that are electro-statically charged, is sprayed onto the surface of the metal and then baked on. The particles are thermally bonded to the metal during curing.

Items to be powder coated are pre-treated, which may include this include chemical cleaning, media blasting, degreasing, and/or conversion coatings, to ensure long-lasting adhesion and superior protection.

The curing, or baking, process melts the particles together and fuses them into a solid coating, once hardened, that is both durable and decorative.
