From repair to built-to-print work
Metal fabrication & welding
Custom fabrication, repair work, welded assemblies, and built-to-drawing parts.
Built around the assembly
A fabrication job may start with raw stock, a drawing, a sample, or a broken assembly. Barnes keeps cutting, forming, fit-up, welding, machining, and finishing tied to the same drawing and finished assembly.
A fabricated assembly needs several shop processes coordinated from one drawingA drawing or sample needs a practical fabrication pathFit-up, welding, and finishing need to work as one sequence
Fabrication for the whole job

Useful questions
Which welding processes and qualifications are available?
Send the code, material, joint, and documentation requirements with the inquiry. We’ll confirm the current process and qualification fit before quoting the work.
Can Barnes support more than one manufacturing step?
Yes. Existing Barnes materials identify machining, cutting, forming, welding, CAD, painting, and other shop capabilities that can be connected where the project requires them.

Plan the build sequence
Cutting, forming, fit-up, welding, machining, and finishing are set in an order that fits the assembly.
- Plan the manufacturing sequence
- Check fit and critical conditions
- Deburr, finish, and review workmanship
