You have your own product, but your welding capacity is full, your supplier keeps slipping or you do not want to invest in another workshop. ArmaWeld, a welding subcontractor in Konya, Turkey, builds welded parts and steel fabrications to your drawings under EN 1090 EXC3 and EN ISO 3834-2, and manages cutting and bending at partner facilities on your behalf.
Most enquiries we receive look like one of the situations below. Whichever is closest to yours, we set up the way we work around it.
Orders are up, but you are short of welders and equipment. Hand us the parts that keep causing bottlenecks and hold your delivery dates without new investment; when the peak is over, the work stays with you.
Depending on a single supplier is a risk. To source the same part from a second supplier to the same drawing and acceptance criteria, we start with a first article inspection, and you can compare price and lead time with your current supplier.
You build machines, equipment or vehicle bodies but do not want to weld the frames and housings yourself. We build them and deliver with full documentation, so you can focus on assembly and sales.
Your customer or export project requires EN 1090 CE marking, EN ISO 3834-2 or qualified welders. We carry out the certified production and deliver with the Declaration of Performance, WPS and NDT reports.
S690QL, S960QL, Strenx and HARDOX need controlled preheat and heat input. We weld them to our qualified WPQRs, with temperature records.
We weld the longitudinal seams of booms, girders and chassis on our 35 m submerged arc welding line in a single set-up with constant parameters.
The information below is enough for an accurate price and lead time. Send what you have even if something is missing; we will complete it with you.
| Item | Information needed |
|---|---|
| Drawing | 2D drawing (PDF, DWG, DXF); 3D model (STEP) if available |
| Material | Steel grade (e.g. S355J2, S690QL), plate thicknesses, certificate requirement (EN 10204 3.1) |
| Quantity | Batch size, estimated annual volume, sample or prototype needs |
| Standard | EN 1090 execution class (EXC2/EXC3), weld quality level (EN ISO 5817 B/C), tolerance class (EN ISO 13920) |
| Inspection | Required NDT methods and extent (VT, PT, MT, UT; RT if needed) |
| Finish and delivery | Blasting and painting, delivery terms (EXW Konya or DAP), target delivery date |
For a detailed checklist see our guide to requesting a quote for welded fabrication; for what drives the price see our article on welded fabrication cost.
A welding engineer reviews your drawing and defines the welding process, WPS and NDT plan. The quote arrives within 48 hours; an NDA is standard.
A sample or first article is submitted for your approval with a dimensional report, NDT results and material certificates.
Every work order is opened with a serial number. Production stage, documents and NDT results are visible live in the customer portal.
Parts ship with their documentation: CE Declaration of Performance where required, 3.1 certificates, WPS/WPQR, welder certificates, NDT and dimensional reports.
From a single prototype to series production, medium and heavy steel fabrications:
ArmaWeld is a welding workshop. Welding and inspection are in-house; other operations are coordinated by us under one order and one point of responsibility. We do not carry out site erection.
| Operation | How it is handled |
|---|---|
| Welding (MAG, TIG, flux-cored, submerged arc) | In-house, by EN ISO 9606-1 qualified welders to approved WPS |
| NDT (VT, PT, MT, UT) | In-house, by ISO 9712 Level 2 personnel |
| Radiographic testing (RT) | Films shot by a partner company, interpreted by our in-house Level 2 personnel |
| Laser cutting, plasma cutting, CNC bending | At audited partner facilities, coordinated by ArmaWeld |
| Blasting, painting, machining | Planned per project, coordinated by ArmaWeld within one order |
| Site erection | Not offered; parts are delivered ready for assembly, with documentation |
There is no fixed minimum. We also build prototypes, samples and small batches; as quantities grow, fixture and set-up costs per part go down. We agree the right batch size with you at the quoting stage.
Both. We can source the material and document it with EN 10204 3.1 certificates, or you send us cut parts and we take care of welding, inspection and the documentation package.
We start from the same drawing, material and acceptance criteria and submit the first article with a dimensional report and NDT results for your approval. Series production starts once you approve.
Within 48 hours of receiving drawings and quantities. On complex projects we first send our technical questions.
An NDA is signed for every project. Drawings are used only for your order; partner facilities receive only the information needed for their operation.
Yes. We work with customers across Europe with English quotes and documentation, on EXW Konya or DAP terms. Details on our export to Europe page.
A drawing, material and quantity are enough. Our welding engineer will complete anything missing with you.
