Why You Need a Custom Metal Fabrication Service

Fabricate Steel Easily

Do you need some fabricated metal for your business? The best way to do that is to hire a company that provides custom metal fabrication. They can certainly offer the following:

Design

Before metal fabrication services can begin, a design must be agreed and approved. The design may be a concept, a sketch, or a 3D model. It can be as simple as a single sheet of metal with a pattern on it. The design may have complex features, such as holes and cutouts. Whatever it is, the designers will ensure that the metal fabrication services they provide can fit the design.

Cutting

Once the design is agreed, the metal fabricator will then begin the cutting. Cutting is the process of preparing the material to be made into a specific shape. This may be as simple as preparing a sheet of metal for bending, or as complex as cutting large pieces of metal to a specific shape. Metal fabricators use cutting machines and equipment to cut materials.

Bending

Bending is the process of making a sheet of metal into the desired shape. This may be bending sheet metal into a U-shape, or forming sheet metal into complex shapes. Metal fabricators use specialized machinery and equipment to bend materials into the desired shape.

Welding

Welding is the process of permanently joining different pieces of metal using heat and pressure. This is usually done using a special welder. different metals, such as aluminum and stainless steel, are welded along with carbon steels. Welding is used to make joints and seams within the metal parts.

Annealing

Annealing is the process of heating and then cooling metal to reduce internal stresses and to relieve internal strain. This is often done after welding. The metal is heated until it reaches its annealing temperature. Then, it is immediately cooled. The annealed metal is harder, more resistant to stress, and more ductile.
