Fabricating 16 gauge stainless counters and hoods is a real chore because of all the effort that it takes to manage the heat. We have a top-notch Miller TIG welder, but to keep warping in line you cannot weld more than an inch at a time, then you need to air cool. Afterwards there's the nasty burn marks to deal with.
Is there a process out there wherein we can more easily keep the heat in check? Someone has mentioned laser, but I think that the cost is prohibitive. Any thoughts?
