Metal Fabrication: 3 Popularly Practiced Processes Master Steel - Steel Fabrication Company

INTRODUCTION Metal fabrication is a broad term that refers to a list of processes that can shape, cut, and mold metal into a final product. Fabrication such as stainless steel fabrication creates the final product from semi-finished or raw material, not assembled from ready-made components.

Fabrication of metal can be defined by many processes depending upon the beginning metal material and the desired final product. These processes are used for both custom and stock products.

These processes are used for both custom and stock products.

Casting Cutting Drawing

01

Casting Casting is a process when molten metal is poured into a mold and is allowed to cool and then hard-shaped into the desired shapes. The process is ideally used for mass production of the parts and reusing the same mold to produce identical products.

Tip: If you need an ISO 3834 standard metal fabricator, Master Steel can be your best ally.

A variety of casting processes that fall under the category of the casting process, but permanent mold casting is better than die casting to create more durable castings. These molds come with expandable cores, making them even more manageable and less expensive to remove.

Cutting Cutting is one of the common types of fabrication used for steel fabrication in Brisbane in which the metal is split into smaller sections. Early on sawing method was used to cut the metal. Still, today, laser; waterjet cutting, power scissors, plasma arc cutting techniques are becoming popular as they make work more manageable than before. Die-cutting is another simplified process that uses a die to slice the metal. There are two types of die-cutting —rotatory die cutting and flatbed die-cutting.

03 Drawing In this metal fabrication process, tensile force is used to pull metal through and into a tapered die, and then the die stretches the metal into a thinner shape. Cold drawing is usually performed at room temperature, but the metal can be heated to reduce the needed force. Drawing is generally perfect for the sheet metal fabrication to turn sheets of metal into hollow box-shaped vessels or cylinders. The above–mentioned processes are popularly used for metal fabrication.
