Your truck and trailer are built tough and can take a lot of punishment. However, they can eventually succumb to environmental conditions and begin forming rust and corrosion. By bringing your truck and trailer into Ohio Diesel, we can perform comprehensive welding services to seal off those problem spots and assist you in reinforcing your rig.
Types of Welding Services We Offer
When you take advantage of our welding services, whether it’s for your truck or trailer, Ohio Diesel offers a variety of different welding techniques to suit your needs. We’re fully capable and equipped to perform the most common and trusted welding methods available, from MIG welding to TIG welding to stick welding.
Standing for Metal Inert Gas, MIG welding is an incredibly popular method thanks to its versatility, ease of use, and commonality which makes it a popular choice when repairing diesel trucks. We perform MIG welding by using a wire electrode that’s fed through the welder and melted from the heat, with the inert gas preventing any chance of contamination that could compromise the weld’s quality and strength. MIG welding can also be done quickly, meaning your truck and trailer can get back on the road faster and put money into your pocket.
A counterpart to MIG welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is prized for its precision, but requires a high level of skill; the welders at Ohio Diesel are fully qualified and have years of experience in their craft, meaning you can expect nothing but quality welds and absolute care in every job they do. We use TIG welding when the job requires more precision is an absolute necessity and where our welders work with thinner materials like aluminum or stainless steel.
Finally, the technicians at Ohio Diesel can also perform stick welding; this is a popular choice for our mobile or roadside work thanks to being less sensitive to contaminants compared to MIG or TIG welding. It’s also handy for dirtier environments! If you’re not picky about appearances (stick welding produces a lot of spatter and cast-off) and desire stronger weld joins using thicker metals, then stick welding is also a good choice for you; it’s particularly useful for trailers or work on non-visible parts of your truck where the extra strength will be incredibly valuable like the suspension or axles.
What Kind of Materials Do You Use?
Although it depends on the type of weld we’re performing and where the weld is (certain areas necessitate stronger materials versus thinner ones for more precision), we typically use both regular and stainless steel and aluminum. All have their benefits and drawbacks with proper use cases. Steel is the most common material we use, thanks to its durability and strength, while stainless steel is used in more exposed areas thanks to its corrosion resistance. If the job requires precision and flexibility, we’ll use aluminum. Ohio Diesel sources all its welding materials from trusted suppliers at only the highest quality so your truck and trailer will be getting nothing but the best.
