Agree with Robow, you are very unlikely to find a welder that could fix a bike frame by welding it.

But if it is a steel frame or fork, you might find someone that can make a very ugly repair with brazing on some extra steel as a reinforcement over the crack or by fillet brazing. But that would be an emergency repair to get you someplace where you could get another frame or fork. In that case, they would provide the brazing materials, you would not carry anything for the repair.

Where are you planning to go that this would be a concern?
