Metal fabrication is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, providing the backbone for industries ranging from construction to aerospace. At Newinds, we pride ourselves on mastering a variety of metal manufacturing techniques to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Let’s delve into the world of metal fabrication and uncover the processes that shape the industry.
WHAT IS METAL FABRICATION?
Metal fabrication is a manufacturing process that involves cutting, forming, machining, and assembling metal materials to produce finished or semi-finished components and structures. This process applies to a wide range of metals, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and is used across industries such as construction, manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure.
METAL FABRICATION TECHNIQUES
1. Cutting
The first step in metal fabrication is cutting, where metal is divided into smaller, manageable pieces. Common cutting methods include:
- Shearing: Ideal for straight cuts on flat metal sheets.
- Sawing: Versatile for various shapes and sizes.
- Torch Cutting: Best for thick materials requiring high heat.
- Water Jet Cutting: Provides precision for intricate designs without heat distortion.
2. Bending
Bending alters the shape of metal without compromising its integrity. Techniques include:
- Air Bending: Efficient for forming angles on sheet metal.
- Bottoming and Coining: Produces precise bends with high repeatability.
- Folding: Delivers complex shapes with multiple bends.
3. Forging
Forging uses compressive force to shape metal, often while it’s hot.
- Hot Forging: Allows for complex shapes and sizes.
- Cold Forging: Increases the strength of the metal.
Additional Techniques
- Welding: The steel components will be joined together through the welding process to form a complete steel structure.
- Milling and Machining: At this stage, processes like drilling, milling, grinding, and turning are used to remove excess material.
- Punching and Stamping: These processes allow for the steel fabrication of precise patterns and shapes, which are essential in producing high-quality components.
WHERE METAL FABRICATION IS USED
- Construction & Structural Works: Steel structures for factories, warehouses, and pre-engineered steel buildings
- Industrial & Manufacturing: Conveyor systems, platforms, catwalks, storage tanks, silos, and industrial tanks
- Commercial & Residential: Advertising billboards, signage systems, canopy frames, and parking structures
- Energy Sector: Solar panel mounting structures, wind towers, and turbine support structures
- Transportation & Infrastructure: Steel bridges, bridge railings, safety barriers, railway stations, and port structures
- Logistics & Warehousing: Mezzanine floors, staircases, and access platforms
