Metal Fabrication

Metal fabrication refers to the process of manipulating and shaping metal materials to create various structures, components, and products. It involves a combination of cutting, bending, welding, and assembling metal pieces to achieve the desired form and function.

Metal fabrication is utilized in various industries, including construction, automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and electronics. Examples of metal fabricated products include structural frames, machinery parts, piping systems, automotive components, appliances, and decorative items.

Skilled metal fabricators employ their knowledge of metal properties, fabrication techniques, and machinery to transform raw metal materials into functional and aesthetically pleasing products, often following detailed engineering drawings or specifications.

  • Cutting: Metal sheets, rods, or bars are cut into specific sizes and shapes using various methods such as sawing, shearing, or laser cutting.
  • Bending: Metal can be bent into specific angles or curves using tools like press brakes or rollers. This process is essential for forming structural components, pipes, or tubing.
  • Welding: Different metal pieces are joined together using various welding techniques such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), or arc welding. Welding provides strength and durability to the fabricated structure.
  • Machining: Metal fabrication often involves machining processes like drilling, milling, or turning to create precise holes, threads, or surface finishes.
  • Forming: Metal sheets can be formed into complex shapes using techniques like deep drawing or stamping, which involve pressing the metal into a die to achieve the desired shape.
  • Assembly: Metal components are assembled by joining them together using fasteners like bolts, screws, or rivets. Adhesive bonding may also be used for certain applications.
  • Finishing: After fabrication, metal products may undergo surface treatments like grinding, sanding, polishing, or coating to enhance their appearance, protect against corrosion, or improve their functionality.
