Jaytech Welding & Fabrication

We had this large steel box come into the shop! This box is for an anodizing tank. The walls were massively corroded from the chemical processes of anodizing. It broke apart and came to us in four pieces! It had to be welded on both the inside and the outside. When it was time for the inner welds. our employee, Javier, had to climb inside with a ladder. He spent a good four hours in that box that day. It was worth the hard work because the customer was very pleased to get it back and get back to work at his own business!

These are after market Harley Davidson high performance heads. The compression ratio is changed by filling the openings with weld. The profiles will be re-machined by the customer. The project was done using the TIG process and 4943 filler. The new shape looks a bit like avocados, don’t you think?

We had an aluminum fixture in house again for welding. This one in particular is an electronic s vibration test fixture for vacuum chamber qualifications. In order for the weld to penetrate, we had to pre-heat the fixture. Then it was welded to customer specifications. it was done using the TIG process and 4943 filler.

Here we have a project of epic proportions!!! And by that, I mean it’s really tall. This 8-foot pole is welded to a 12″ by 12″ plate that will be bolted down in a clean room. This stainless steel pole will be used to hold electrical connections for the company’s machines.

This is an altimeter lift fixture that we made for Jet Propulsion Labs.They will be doing final machining and inserts to complete the part. It is approximately 68″ by 26″. We love doing big fabrication projects like this!

Through the months of September. October, and November, Terry holds welding workshops for the steel bridge building team over at California State University at Northridge. He helps them learn how to weld steel well enough so that they can weld their own bridge together at the competition later on that school year. CSUN’s bridge building team is one of the few teams in this nation-wide competition whose students actually weld their own bridge themselves. Quite an achievement! The CSUN team has a history of doing very well in the competition, and over here at Jaytech we are proud to contribute!

Here we have a Suzuki motorcycle frame that our customer asked us to reinforce. We added to the structure to make this bike safer for racing! Don’t crash!

Spending some time tuning in a machine to weld aluminum soda cans! Coming up with a perfect program to weld such thin metal without blowing holes through it is a painstaking process!

Some interesting motorcycle parts came into the shop! This gas tank and fender are from a Jesse James motorcycle that the customer beat up pretty badly and brought in for repairs. We always love seeing the cool things that walk-ins bring!
