  • nexAir’s Role in Supporting Precision Metal Fabrication with Custom Gas Solutions

    In a metal fabrication workshop, the margin for error is razor-thin, and the consequences of a miscalculation are extensive. This is especially true in high-stakes sectors like aerospace and automotive, where precision is a priority. 

    While professionals are trained to use the right tools, KnowHow, and safety gear, there’s a critical element that often goes unnoticed: the right gas. Industrial gases drive performance and ensure flawless welds. But, too often, improper gas delivery or composition ruin projects before they even begin. In this article, learn more about the role nexAir plays in supporting precision fabrication facilities.

    Custom Gas Blending

    At nexAir’s state-of-the-art facilities, expert chemists work around the clock to create tailored blends that meet the specific needs of precision cutting and welding operations.

    Whether it’s argon for TIG welding, nitrogen for plasma cutting, or a specialty mix for aluminum, we deliver the exact amount you need, when you need it. Our solutions are designed to offer better arc stability, reduced spatter, and deeper weld penetration. 

    We also significantly streamline the cutting process, by supplying high-purity gases that minimize cleanup and labor-intensive corrections. Moreover, as technology evolves, our team is constantly innovating new solutions to keep up. For example, on the nexAir store, we have started offering gases that support 3D printing, laser cutting, and more. 

    Advanced Delivery Systems

    Precision relies not only on the right mixture but the appropriate delivery mechanism. Our advanced gas delivery systems ensure controlled flow and pressure. They are designed to prevent fluctuations that could lead to inconsistencies and defects. 

    Facilities of all sizes benefit. No matter what your requirements are, you’ll find an appropriate solution. For example, we could provide: 

    • High- or low-pressure cylinders  
    • Skids (ideal for for small purge jobs)
    • Microbulk systems (for businesses that need a permanent installation 
    • Portable bulk systems (for large offsite jobs) 

    And more. Each of these systems is fitted with advanced sensors and accessories that ensure steady parameters through the production cycle. This allows professionals to eliminate variations, reduce errors, and make smarter decisions.

    Safety & Staff Training

    At nexAir, we understand that gases can be volatile. That’s why safety will always be a fundamental part of our service model.

    For decades, we have offered hands-on training and guidance to ensure our clients are fully equipped to manage gases. From proper cylinder storage to leak detection and emergency shutoff procedures, we help you build safer, more compliant operations. This is especially critical when working with specialty gases.

    Beyond basic safety, we also work closely with fabrication teams to instill best practices for handling delivery systems and maintaining equipment — preventing common errors that could compromise quality or productivity.

    Expert Installation 

    Precision welding wouldn’t be possible without a properly installed gas system. Fortunately for our clients, they can leverage our expertise to help plan and implement this gas infrastructure. We’ll help choose the right materials and layout to match your needs, as well as install the systems while keeping in mind key considerations.

    Each system is thoroughly tested to ensure reliability. Our preventive maintenance programs, meanwhile, help reduce downtime and extend equipment life.

    The nexAir Advantage

    Precision fabrication demands skilled hands and expertise. But it also relies heavily on comprehensive gas solutions to drive results. For many clients across the Southeast, nexAir is the leading provider of such solutions. From the gas blend in your tanks to the lines running across your shop floor, we make sure every element works in tandem to help you Forge Forward.
