MJM Holds AWS D17.1 Aerospace Welding Certification with Lockheed Martin Program Approval

MJM Manufacturing holds AWS D17.1 aerospace fusion welding certification with Lockheed Martin program approval — one of the most demanding welding qualifications in the aerospace manufacturing industry, and a credential that very few sheet metal fabricators in the United States can claim.

AWS D17.1 is the American Welding Society standard specifically written for aerospace fusion welding. It governs the qualification of welding procedures and welder performance for components and assemblies supplied to aerospace customers — with significantly more stringent requirements than general welding codes. Achieving Lockheed Martin program approval under AWS D17.1 means that MJM’s welding procedures, welder qualifications, and quality documentation have been reviewed and approved by one of the most demanding aerospace prime contractors in the world.

Our welding department is backed by an extensive set of AWS certifications including D1.1 (Steel), D1.2 (Aluminum), D9.1M (Sheet Metal), and D17.1 (Aerospace Fusion Welding). MJM holds Lockheed Martin program approval under AWS D17.1 and Lloyd’s Register welding certification (LR 33932) — two of the most demanding welding qualifications in the aerospace and defense industry.

MJM Manufacturing is also fully registered for government defense contracting. Our CAGE Code is 0YLX1 and we are registered on SAM.gov — the two credentials required for U.S. Department of Defense supplier qualification and prime contractor approved vendor lists. Combined with our ITAR registration, AS9100 certification, and AWS D17.1 aerospace welding approval, MJM meets the compliance requirements of the most demanding defense procurement programs.

In addition to AWS D17.1, MJM holds certifications to AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding — Steel), AWS D1.2 (Structural Welding — Aluminum), and AWS D9.1M (Sheet Metal Welding Code), supported by qualified Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR). MJM also holds Lloyd’s Register welding certification (LR 33932) — a globally recognized third-party welding quality approval used in aerospace, marine, and defense programs.

For aerospace and defense customers requiring welding quality documentation, MJM can provide WPS, PQR, welder performance qualification records, weld maps, and in-process inspection documentation as required by your program quality plan. Contact us at sales@mjmmfg.com or call (305) 620-2020.
