TIG argon welding of stainless where the seam has to stay clean and rust-free: restaurant kitchen equipment, boat and yacht parts, tanks and pipework, interior details. Argon back purging, seam passivation and polishing to satin or mirror finish.
Stainless is the material for jobs that demand hygiene, salt resistance or a visible clean seam. I do not build stainless railings — balcony guardrails are welded in steel and aluminium.
Tables, sinks, shelves, extraction hoods, equipment stands and trolleys. AISI 304 for indoor use, seams dressed and polished so surfaces wash down and pass hygiene inspection.
Rails, brackets, arches, equipment mounts and deck fittings. AISI 316 only: the molybdenum content resists chlorides, so the seam does not bleed rust after one season.
Water and food-grade tanks, trays and enclosures. Sealed, fully penetrated seams with internal purging.
Stainless pipe welding for equipment connections, ventilation, irrigation and service lines. Butt welds with full penetration.
Polished trims, frames, letters, posts and furniture elements — where the stainless is on display and the seam is part of the design.
Weld a crack, add a bracket, adapt an existing item to a new location. Often faster and cheaper than buying new.
Stainless rusts exactly where it was welded badly. Heated without shielding, the back of the seam oxidises, blue and black heat tint appears, and in those areas the chromium layer no longer reforms — so the metal starts corroding along the weld.
That is why the seam is shielded with argon on both sides, the current is kept low, and the weld is passivated afterwards to chemically restore the protective layer. A few extra steps and extra gas, and the part does not bloom rust six months later.

What the page works out is an estimate, not a quote. The final figure is always worked out separately, because the same structure in two different places does not cost the same.
This is not factory production, where everything comes out identical, soulless and at the lowest price. Each piece is made for your particular spot. Write to me — we will go through where reinforcement is worth it and where it is not, and I will find an option that suits you.
