Welding
Fully equipped MIG/TIG Welding stations for Aluminium fabrications
- MIG Welding: Sometimes referred to as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), this is a process that utilizes a constantly fed solid electrode, shielding gas from an externally supplied source and electrical power to melt the electrode and leave this molten material in the weld joint.
- TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas): Known as Gas tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), the process uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode that sends the current to the welding arc. The tungsten and weld puddle are safeguarded and cooled with an inert gas, usually argon. As it used a filler material for build-up or reinforcement, TIG welding is like oxy-acetylene welding.

Roll Forming
Capable of producing 4,000 metres of Aluminium trims per day
Roll forming is a continuous profile production process to form sheet metal progressively into a desired shape with closer tolerances.
The process offers several advantages including:
- Complex geometrical shapes
- High strength
- Dimensional accuracy
- Closer tolerances
- Good surface finish
The process can also produce thin-walled cross-sections and complex shaped profiles which are difficult to produce by other methods.
In some cases roll-formed profiles have more inherent strength than those produced by other methods.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder.
The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form.
The facilities at the NWA Group Powder Coating plant include:
- Box Oven 4.5m x 2.5m x 2.4m
- Spray Room 5m x 3m x 2.5m
- Overhead Conveyor System
- Dip Pre Treatment Tank System (4 stage)
- Well Drying Oven
