Stainless Steel Welding in Canada
Stainless steel takes its corrosion resistance from nickel, and Canada is a top-five nickel producer, mining the alloy's defining element close to the shops that machine it. In Canada structural welding answers to one standard, CSA W47.1, certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau, so specifying it is shorthand for an audited, third-party-verified process.
The capability below reflects qualified Canadian shops that handle welding in stainless steel.
