Our services in the field of stainless steel sheet welding

TIG welding (tungsten inert gas)

The most precise welding method for stainless steel sheets, especially in the case of thin-walled components. They benefit from smooth, even seams that are hygienically safe and easy to clean – perfect for the food, pharmaceutical and medical technology industries.

MIG welding

An economical solution for larger material cross-sections or robust assemblies. Ideal when it comes to Efficiency and fast processing goes.

Seam preparation & surface treatment

We provide clean surfaces, controlled heat input and proper tolerance test. This minimizes the risk of cracks, pores, or uneven structures – resulting in welds with a long service life and stable properties. Proper preparation is essential, especially when welding stainless steel.

Hygienic welds

Our welds are designed to consistently eliminate dead spaces. All product-contact surfaces are CIP-capable (Cleaning in Place) and correspond highest hygiene standards. Color tests according to FORCE-Level C (straw yellow) confirm optimal execution without overheating.

quality check

From visual inspection and red-white test to endoscopic checks – we ensure that every suture is checked as needed and by arrangement. documented and verified Photo documentation and audit-proof filing ensure that you have auditable evidence at all times.

We solve these challenges in stainless steel welding.

"Our components must meet the highest hygiene standards."

➜ In food, pharmaceutical, and medical technology projects, we rely exclusively on hygienic welds. Smooth surfaces, seamless transitions, and CIP/SIP-compliant execution prevent contamination. For stainless steel welding, we use operator self-inspection. However, by arrangement, you can also receive 100% documentation, in which every weld is inspected and documented – ensuring your processes remain safe and compliant with standards.

"We need welds without discoloration or cracks."

➜ Through controlled Parameter guidance, the use of Forming gas And through seamless monitoring of the welding processes, we achieve reproducible results. This results in high-quality welded joints that are permanently durable – free from pores, undercuts, or thermal damage.

“We work with austenitic chromium-nickel steels (e.g. 1.4404) – how do we prevent distortion?”

➜ Our specialization in Stainless steel 1.4404 and 1.4301 This allows us to precisely control material expansion and stresses. Through optimized heat input, preparation and post-processing, as well as tailored welding methods, we prevent distortion and ensure the dimensional accuracy of your components.

"Our projects require complete documentation."

➜ That's no problem at all. By arrangement, you will receive 100% documentation from us. Every seam is clearly marked, inspected, and documented in an audit-proof manner. From Visual inspection, red-white test and endoscopy up to complete Material certificates – We provide you with auditable documentation that meets the highest quality standards.

This is how your project with STW will proceed

1. Analysis

You send us your drawings or technical specifications. We examine the feasibility in detail and select the appropriate components. welding processes (eg TIG welding (for thin-walled stainless steel sheets or MIG welding for thick-walled components) and define tolerances and parameters for the welding process. This ensures that your Stainless steel welded joints are precisely planned from the very beginning.

2. Strategy

Based on the analysis, we will develop a transparent offer. Adjustments will be documented in an audit-proof manner, ensuring that it remains traceable at all times which steps were taken and Welding methods can be used. For projects with high quality requirements – for example in the pharmaceutical, food or chemical industries – we already agree on all details at this phase. weld design .

3. Implementation

The manufacturing process is carried out by certified companies. Welders, who specialize in stainless steel. Whether TIG welding or MIG welding Every procedure is implemented precisely according to specifications. Throughout the entire process, continuous inspections, visual checks, and documentation ensure that every step is carried out correctly. Weld It meets the required properties: corrosion-resistant, hygienic and durable.

4. support

Upon completion of the work, you will receive, by agreement, a complete Weld documentation Including photos, test reports, and material documentation. Upon request, we can also support your company long-term – with adjustments, modifications, or expansions of existing systems. This ensures your business remains competitive. Stainless steel welded construction Permanently reliable and auditable.

That's why companies trust STW

Specializing in stainless steel

We focus exclusively on stainless steel – especially austenitic chromium-nickel steels such as 1.4404 and 1.4301. This clear focus ensures that we perfectly master the special properties and challenges of welding these steels.

Quality tested in every detail

From weld preparation to final inspection, we work with documented procedures. Visual inspections, red-white tests, endoscopies, and photographic documentation (upon customer request) ensure that every weld meets the highest quality and hygiene standards.

Certified welders & testing personnel

Our employees are internationally qualified – from TIG specialists and visual inspectors to international welding experts. The combination of know-how and experience guarantees reproducible results of the highest standard.

Auditability & Compliance

All welding processes are carried out according to relevant standards such as DIN EN ISO 3834-2 and AD 2000 leaflet HP 0 / HP 100 R. This means our documentation is 100% auditable – for internal quality assurance, external customer approvals or an official testing body.

Unique combination of welding and bending

While many providers either only welding or only Sheet metal working We offer both services at the highest level. This means that stainless steel sheets are not only precisely bent but also welded to fit perfectly. This allows us to produce complete assemblies from a single source – dimensionally accurate, hygienic, and without interface problems.

Process reliability instead of rework

Through simulation, prefabrication, and clear documentation, we avoid sources of error that often lead to rework and delays with other suppliers. You receive stainless steel components that are ready for immediate use and meet the highest quality standards.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Welding Stainless Steel

For thin-walled stainless steel sheets, we prefer to use TIG welding (tungsten inert gas). This process enables maximum precision, smooth and clean welds, and a visually appealing surface. For thicker components, additionally... MIG welding for use – depending on the requirements for strength and cost-effectiveness.

Stainless steel is prone to warping due to its expansion. We prevent this by controlled heat input, a careful Seam preparation, the use of Forming gas and an adapted welding methodology. This ensures that your components remain dimensionally accurate and process-reliable – even with demanding stainless steels (e.g. 1.4404).

Yes – our welds are CIP and SIP capable, Free of dead spaces and meeting all requirements. This means: easy cleaning, maximum product safety and ideal suitability for industries with strict hygiene standards such as the food industry, pharmaceuticals or medical technology.

Each weld is inspected as part of the operator's self-inspection process. Upon request and by prior arrangement, you will receive 100% documentation. This includes Visual inspection, red-white test, endoscopy and photo documentation, including material certificates – 100% auditable and compliant with common industry quality standards (DIN EN ISO 3834-2, AD 2000).

Our services are primarily used in the Food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical and chemical pipe installation, as well as mechanical and pipe installation used. The highest weld quality is essential there – hygienic, corrosion-resistant and permanently durable.
