1,600 Individual Welds! Whew! That Was A Project!

Several years ago, Urata & Sons Cement out of Rancho Cordova hired me to do some work at the WHHS Morris Hyman Critical Care Pavilion on Bart Way in Fremont. I was asked to weld 1,600  5/8” rebar to the third and fourth-floor decks prior to the concrete being poured. Whew! That's a lot of welds!

4 Types of Welding Explained: MIG vs TIG vs Stick vs Flux Core

The 1,000 foot view of the most common welding processes. All of the different welding processes and acronyms can be really confusing. In this video, I go over the following: 0:00 Intro 0:40 Stick Welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding - SMAW) 4:00 Flux Core Arc Welding - FCAW 5:58 MIG Welding (Gas Metal Arc Welding - GMAW) 7:45 TIG Welding (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding - GTAW)

F350 Frame Repair

 Another Job Completed by Croz Metal Fabrication:

I got called to North Bay Truck to repair both sides of the frame on a F350. Apparently, this customer installed Airbags between the Leaf Spring mounts and overloaded the Receiver Hitch, breaking the frame on both sides directly above the Airbags. With creative rigging (see Forklift Rigging) we were able to tweak the frame back into place and using Tig and ER309 filler, performed a full penetration weld. Crisis averted.

Helping To Keep Electric Cars Charged. Croz Custom Metal Fabrication

 

Last year, because of COVID, Potential Electrical Design Services decided to cancel one of the Tesla Super Charger stations in the Vacaville Factory Stores. They had to cut some of the mounting tabs off in order to install them and couldn’t return the modules with them missing. So I made them like new again.
