Welded Beam Fabrication at AQ Steel Built
At AQ Steel Built, we prioritize precision and adherence to stringent standards throughout the fabrication process. In the critical phase of material preparation and welding, our comprehensive approach includes:
We confirm the accuracy of dimensions and adhere to allowable tolerances, ensuring every part meets specified requirements.
All welds undergo a thorough visual inspection to guarantee quality and adherence to standards.
We meticulously check weld preparation for conformance with WPS, ensuring precise execution.
We check for any camber in members, ensuring compliance with project specifications.
Our process includes a comprehensive check of weld profiles and sizes for accuracy.
Ensuring a clean finish, we confirm that all weld splatter is effectively removed.
We confirm the placement and preparation for full penetration butt welds (CJP), aligning with specified standards.
A minimum of 5% of shear studs undergo bend testing, ensuring quality and conformity. If any stud fails, the entire batch is discarded.
We verify weld prep areas for members to be welded on-site, referencing IFC workshop drawings and WPS. Additionally, we conform to global standards, encompassing regulations set by Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom/European Union, and Canada.
Rigorous checks are conducted on welding consumables, including storage conditions and mill certificates, following guidelines in IFC workshop drawings and WPS. We also follow international standards, including regulations established by Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom/European Union, and Canada.
For built-up/welded sections, we apply the tolerances designated for hot-rolled sections as specified in IFC workshop drawings and WPS. Furthermore, we adhere to global standards, including those set by Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom/European Union, and Canada.
We conduct Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) on welds, with 100% NDT required for any splices in the web or flange. Additional testing, such as Magnetic Particle Testing and Ultrasonic Testing, is carried out for specific elements.
We perform tension tests on welded beams, adhering to international standards including AS/NZS 3679.2:2016 Table 1 and Clause 10, ensuring compliance with specified minimum requirements.
Heat crayons are used to control pre-cambering/straightening temperature, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum allowable (600°C) and is distributed appropriately, in line with code requirements.
All studs undergo visual inspection and ring testing. Replacement is mandatory if a stud shows less than a full 360° collar of weld or fails to produce a clear ring when struck with a metal club hammer. Bend tests are conducted on approved studs.
At AQ Steel, our commitment to excellence is evident in our rigorous quality control measures throughout the fabrication process. Choose AQ Steel for precision, quality, and reliability in every project.
