In addition to its Transport Canada and EASA approvals, the company is certified under the Controlled Goods Program, allowing it to work on sensitive aerospace components.
Customer-Centric Approach
Beyond technical expertise, Acorn Welding prides itself on a customer-centric approach. The company works closely with clients to understand their specific needs offering tailored solutions that meet exacting requirements.
This collaborative approach has fostered long-term relationships with leading aerospace manufacturers and operators.
Why Aerospace Welding Requires Specialized Expertise
Aerospace welding is not the same as conventional welding. It requires advanced knowledge, precision, and strict adherence to safety standards.
Aircraft components are often made from lightweight and high-strength materials like titanium, stainless steel, and aluminum. These materials demand specialized welding techniques to maintain their structural integrity and ensure performance under extreme conditions.
Additionally, aerospace welding involves working on parts with complex geometries. Components like exhaust systems, engine mounts, and turbocharger mounts require flawless execution to function properly. The smallest imperfection in a weld can compromise the safety of the entire aircraft.
This is why only highly trained and certified welders can perform aerospace welding. At Acorn Welding, we prioritize continuous training and certification.
Our team stays up to date with the latest welding standards, including the AWS D17.1 Aerospace Welding Standard. This ensures every project meets strict aviation requirements and customer expectations.
Our expertise doesn’t just end with welding. We also offer comprehensive quality assurance, rigorous inspections, and non-destructive testing.
These measures guarantee that every component leaving our facility is safe, reliable, and built to last. With Acorn Welding, you can trust that your aircraft is in the hands of true professionals.
