Welding & Fabrication
Services at Ram-Z Fab
At Ram-Z Fab, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality welding and fabrication services that form the foundation of sturdy and reliable constructions.
Since 2004, our team of certified and skilled professionals has been providing exceptional welding solutions to clients across the Willamette Valley and beyond. Our expertise spans a wide range of welding techniques, ensuring that we can meet the diverse needs of various industries with precision and excellence.
Our Welding Expertise
Our welding services encompass a variety of techniques, each suited to specific applications and materials:
MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas)
MIG welding is one of our most versatile and widely used techniques. It's known for its speed, efficiency, and ability to produce clean, strong welds. Our MIG welding services are ideal for:
- Construction projects
- Manufacturing of metal furniture and fixtures
- General metal fabrication
MIG welding's versatility makes it an excellent choice for both thin and thick materials, and it's particularly well-suited for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas)
TIG welding is our go-to method for projects requiring the highest level of precision and aesthetic appeal. This technique is perfect for:
- Medical device fabrication
- Artistic metalwork
- Welding thin materials or delicate parts
TIG welding allows our skilled technicians to create exceptionally clean, precise welds on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It's the preferred method when weld appearance is crucial, making it ideal for visible welds in architectural applications.
Arc Welding (Stick Welding)
Arc welding, also known as stick welding, is a robust technique that we employ for heavy-duty applications. It's particularly useful for:
- Construction of large steel structures
- Pipeline welding
- Repair work on heavy equipment
- Outdoor projects where wind might affect gas-shielded processes
Our arc welding experts are skilled in working with a variety of electrodes, allowing us to tailor the weld characteristics to your specific project requirements.
Industry Applications
Our welding services cater to a wide range of industries, each with its unique requirements and challenges:
Construction Industry
In the construction sector, welding plays a crucial role in creating structurally sound metal frameworks. Our welding services contribute to:
- Steel frame building construction
- Bridge fabrication and repair
- Reinforcement of concrete structures
- Installation of metal staircases and railings
We understand the importance of meeting strict building codes and safety standards in construction welding, and our certified welders ensure that every joint meets or exceeds these requirements.
Aerospace Industry
The aerospace sector demands the highest levels of precision and reliability in welding. Our services include:
- Welding of aircraft structural components
- Fabrication of engine parts
- Repair of aerospace equipment

Our TIG welding experts are particularly skilled in working with exotic materials and tight tolerances required in aerospace applications.
Quality Assurance in Welding
At Ram-Z Fab, we understand that the quality of our welds directly impacts the safety, durability, and performance of the structures we help build. That's why we implement rigorous quality assurance and control processes:
Certified Welders
All our welders are certified through the AWS Certified Welder program, which is recognized as the pinnacle of welding proficiency. This certification ensures that our welders have demonstrated the skill level demanded by industry standards.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
When required, we employ various NDT methods to inspect our welds without damaging the welded components. These include:
- Visual inspection
- Ultrasonic testing
- Radiographic testing
- Magnetic particle inspection
These tests allow us to detect any potential flaws or defects in the welds, ensuring the highest level of quality and safety.
Destructive Testing
When required, we also perform destructive testing on sample welds to verify the strength and integrity of our welding processes. This may include:
- Tensile strength tests
- Bend tests
- Impact tests
These tests provide concrete data on the performance of our welds under various stress conditions.
Quality Control Documentation
When required, we maintain detailed documentation of all our welding processes, including:
- Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS)
- Procedure Qualification Records (PQR)
- Welder Performance Qualification Records (WPQR)
This documentation ensures consistency in our welding processes and allows for traceability in case of any quality concerns.
