What is Metal Fabrication?

Metal fabrication is where you are drilling, bending, cutting or welding different types of steel and a range of steel sizes.

To successfully cut steel while offsite we use oxy/LPG cutting, friction saw, plasma cutting or cold chisel to get the job done, depending on the location/access and type of steel/metal.

The majority of our drilling is performed onsite where possible or alternatively, we use oxy/LPG cutting where drilling is not possible.

Bending steel and other metals is generally done while the steel is cold to assist in the reduction of unwanted distortion and or loss of strength. Heating the steel with oxy/LPG makes the job easier, and quicker (more cost-effective), but this is time-consuming and results may not turn out as desired.

People also ask:

What types of metals are commonly fabricated?

Some of the most commonly fabricated metals include steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. Other metals used in fabrication include copper, brass, titanium, and nickel alloys. The metal chosen depends on the mechanical properties needed, corrosion resistance, weight, and cost. Please phone our team for helpful advice.

What are some standard fabrication methods?

Common metal fabrication techniques include cutting, machining, welding, grinding, bending, drilling, and finishing processes. Computer numerical control (CNC) machines are often used for precise, automated fabrication. Other manual fabrication uses power tools like saws, shears, and drills. We have all the equipment to get your metal fabrication job done – and done properly! Phone to discuss your options.

What safety precautions should be followed in metal fabrication?

Metal fabrication involves working with heavy equipment and materials, high heat sources, and potentially hazardous chemicals. Some important safety measures include wearing protective gear like eye protection and gloves, being aware of flammable materials, operating equipment properly after training, following safe welding procedures, and keeping our workshop organised and clean.

Is a metal fabricator the same as a welder?

The short answer is No

A metal fabricator and a welder are not the same occupation, though their work often overlaps. Here is our quick breakdown of the differences:

Welder

  • Performs welding work specifically, joining metals together using methods like gas metal arc welding (MIG), tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, etc.
  • Requires specialised training and qualifications in various welding processes.
  • Day-to-day work revolves almost entirely around welding metals.

Metal Fabricator

  • Covers a broader range of work with sheet metal and other metal materials.
  • Involves cutting, forming, machining, assembling and yes, often welding metal pieces.
  • May perform some welding but also oversees and aids in other metal fabrication processes.
  • More general training in all aspects of metal product manufacturing rather than a specialty in welding alone.

A metal fabricator oversees a wider array of metalworking tasks while also possibly doing some welding. A welder specialises specifically in different welding methods to fuse metals. We have skilled staff as dedicated welders and metal fabricators working together on projects.

Top 3 types of metal fabrication?
The three types of metal fabrication relate to a different application and function of the fabrication process:
  • Industrial Metal Fabrication. Industrial metal fabrication is used to create parts of tools and equipment.
  • Structural Metal Fabrication.
  • Commercial Metal Fabrication.
