“Fortius Metals develops cutting-edge welding wire and TIG rods. Fortius utilized Chris at Alloy Metalworks to beta test some of Fortius’s early product. Chris produced excellent Aluminum TIG welds, that we subjected to radiographic testing and macroscopic evaluation. Chris was able to produce clean welds quickly- allowing us to rapidly test our alloy compositions. He was very easy to work with and offered valuable insights about the weldability and quality of our unique alloys. We plan to continue using Chris to beta test new alloys as we develop them.”
