Send part files, weldment drawings, and annual volume. Same-day technical feasibility review. Full quote within 48 hours, including fixturing, freight, and customs where applicable.
Review the quote and production plan. Sign the production agreement. Redstone confirms facility assignment, fixture timeline, weld procedure, and first-article schedule.
Fixtures and weld procedures are set against your drawings. First-article weldments ship to your engineering team for sign-off. Weld inspection records available on regulated programs.
Volume MIG welding runs at the assigned IATF 16949 certified shop. Statistical process control applied from first run. Lot traceability maintained end to end.
Third-party inspection at origin against your approved drawings and weld criteria. Dimensional report, visual weld inspection, and material certification included in every shipment. US customs brokerage handled. Landed cost on your dock matches the number Redstone quoted.

Casting vs machining compared across cost, tolerances, volume, and lead time. Learn which manufacturing process fits your metal part production needs.
Metal injection molding design requires uniform wall thickness, proper gating, and sintering shrinkage planning. Learn the key MIM part design rules before you commit to tooling.
CNC machining tolerances range from ±0.005" standard to ±0.001" tight. Learn the standards, callout types, and charts that keep rework and cost under control.
2024 and 6061 are both workhorse aerospace alloys, but they serve opposite needs: 2024 delivers high strength and fatigue resistance under tension, while 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility.
7075 aluminum nearly doubles the tensile strength of 6061 and dominates aerospace tooling, but it is generally considered non-weldable and harder to form. 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility for a broader range of industries.
6061 aluminum can be bent, but its precipitation-hardened T6 temper makes it prone to cracking if handled without the right techniques. Proper bend radii, annealing, and controlled heating are all essential for successful results.
A36 and AR500 are two common steel grades with very different strengths. A36 is valued for workability and low cost; AR500 is engineered for extreme wear and abrasion resistance.

Use MIG for speed, volume, thicker sections, and structural weldments where deposition rate and cost per joint matter. Use TIG for thin gauge, cosmetic seams, and high-precision joints where heat control and appearance matter most. Send your model and Redstone confirms the process at the feasibility review.
Carbon and low-alloy steel, 300 and 400 series stainless, and 5000 and 6000 series aluminum. Solid and flux-cored wire with shielding gas matched to the base material. Send the material spec and Redstone confirms the wire and gas at the quoting stage.
MIG covers a broad range, from sheet through heavier structural sections in multiple passes. Thin gauge below the single-pass range is routed to TIG for better heat control. Send your part thickness and Redstone confirms the process and pass plan.
Every shipment includes a dimensional inspection report, visual weld inspection results, and material certification. Weld procedure and inspection records are available on regulated programs. Statistical process control records and material traceability are maintained for the life of the program.
Yes. Send the existing weldment drawings, weld procedures, and current supplier quote. Redstone assesses fixture and procedure transfer, runs a parallel quote with the certified shops, and projects landed-cost savings and lead-time impact before you commit. Existing fixtures are often re-usable.
