What it is
Welding is used for steel structures, gates, grills, railings and steel staircases. Reinforcement bars in RCC are normally tied with binding wire instead, because welding can weaken TMT bars.
Key points
- Arc welding is common on site
- Welds need cleaning and painting against rust
- TMT rebars are tied, not welded
- Skilled, certified welders matter for structures
Why it matters
A poor weld rusts and cracks first. In humid Chennai, welds must be ground, primed and painted properly.
How Elamentt handles it
Fabricated steel is welded by skilled fabricators and primed and painted before it is fixed.
