Steel fabrication in Brisbane transforms raw structural steel shapes into the desired product for various applications. Here’s a breakdown of the typical process of steel processing and fabrication:
1. Cutting & Drilling
This stage involves shaping the raw steel into desired pieces using various tools. Common methods include: Oxy-fuel cutting, Plasma cutting & Laser cutting.
2. Bending, Pressing & Rolling
During this stage, the steel is manipulated into specific shapes. Techniques include:
• Bending: Folding steel at a desired angle
• Pressing: Forms the steel into a specific shape
• Rolling: Creates curves and reduces thickness
3. Welding Services and Assembly:
Here, the prepped pieces are joined together to ensure strong and lasting connections between components.
4. Finishing:
The final stage may involve additional processes depending on the project’s needs: Sandblasting or grinding, Painting or coating and Inspection.
The specific techniques and equipment used will vary depending on the complexity of the project and the desired outcome.
There’s no single “best” steel for fabrication as the optimal choice depends on several factors specific to your project:
• Strength: High-strength steels are ideal for projects requiring significant load-bearing capacity, such as building beams or bridges.
• Formability: For projects needing intricate bends or shapes, low-carbon steel offers good formability.
• Corrosion Resistance: If the fabricated component will be exposed to harsh environments, stainless steel with its excellent corrosion resistance would be preferable.
• Welding: Some steel types are easier to weld than others. Consider the welding techniques available to steel fabricators and choose a compatible steel grade.
Common steel types used in fabrication services include:
• Carbon steel
• Stainless Steel
• Alloy
• Mild steel
There’s no single “best” steel for fabrication as the optimal choice depends on several factors specific to your project:
Metal Fabrication:
- Deals with working and shaping various metals (steel, aluminium, copper, etc.) into desired forms.
- Uses various processes including cutting, bending, forming, assembling, and joining using techniques like welding, riveting, and threading.
- Used across a large selection of industries like construction, automotive, aerospace, and appliance manufacturing.
Steel Fabrication:
- Focuses specifically on shaping and assembling steel for various applications.
- Utilises many of the same processes as metal fabrication but primarily works with steel due to its strength and versatility.
- Common in construction (beams, frames), infrastructure (bridges), shipbuilding, and industrial machinery.
