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 for thin-walled components. You benefit from smooth, uniform 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 efficiency and fast processing are paramount.

Seam preparation & surface treatment

We ensure clean surfaces, controlled heat input , and precise tolerance testing. 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 eliminate dead spaces. All product-contact surfaces are CIP (Cleaning in Place) compatible and meet the 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 staining to endoscopic checks – we ensure that every suture is documented and inspected as needed and by agreement . Photographic documentation and tamper-proof filing guarantee 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 management, the use of forming gas , and continuous 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 steels 1.4404 and 1.4301 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, we will provide you with 100% documentation. Every seam is clearly marked, inspected, and documented in an audit-proof manner. From visual inspection, red-white test, and endoscopy to complete material certificates – we deliver audit-ready 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, select the appropriate welding processes (e.g., 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 welds are precisely planned from the outset.

2. Strategy

Based on the analysis, we develop a transparent offer. Adjustments are documented in an audit-proof manner, ensuring that the steps and welding methods used remain traceable at all times. For projects with high quality requirements – for example, in the pharmaceutical, food, or chemical industries – we coordinate all details regarding weld execution at this early stage.

3. Implementation

Production is carried out by certified welders specializing in stainless steel. Whether TIG or MIG welding – every process is implemented precisely according to specifications. Throughout the entire process, continuous inspections, visual checks, and documentation ensure that every weld meets the required properties: corrosion-resistant, hygienic, and durable.

4. Supervision

Upon completion of the work, you will receive, by agreement, complete weld documentation including photos, test reports, and material certificates. If desired, we can also support your company in the long term – with adjustments, modifications, or expansions of existing systems. This ensures that your stainless steel welded construction remains reliably auditable and in compliance with regulations.

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-Merkblatt HP 0 / HP 100 R. This means our documentation is 100% auditable – for internal quality assurance, external customer approvals, or an official testing laboratory.

Long-term partnerships

Companies in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and pipe installation industries have relied on STW for years. They value our reliability, adherence to deadlines and the combination of precision, safety and long-term process reliability.

This is how STW differs from other providers.

High density of qualified individuals

STW employs only certified welders and inspection personnel – from TIG specialists to visual and red-white inspectors. This concentrated expertise ensures that every weld is executed reproducibly, safely, and with full documentation – regardless of material thickness or installation situation.

Unique combination of welding and bending

While many suppliers offer either welding or sheet metal fabrication , we master both at the highest level. This means that stainless steel sheets are not only precisely bent but also welded to perfection. 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.

Experience in demanding industries

Whether it's the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, or chemical plant construction – we have a thorough understanding of the industry-specific requirements. This experience is incorporated into every project, making us a partner who not only welds but delivers solutions.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Welding Stainless Steel

For thin-walled stainless steel sheets, we primarily use TIG welding (tungsten inert gas). This process enables maximum precision, smooth and clean welds, and an aesthetically pleasing surface finish. For thicker components, we also use MIG welding – depending on the requirements for strength and cost-effectiveness.

Stainless steel is prone to distortion due to its thermal expansion. We prevent this through controlled heat input, careful weld preparation, the use of forming gas , and an adapted welding method. 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 compatible, free of dead spaces, and meet all requirements. This means: easy cleaning, maximum product safety, and ideal suitability for industries with strict hygiene standards, such as the food, pharmaceutical, and medical technology sectors.
