How do you make steel fabrication?

Steel fabrication in Brisbane transforms raw structural steel shapes into usable components 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
  • Inspection
The specific techniques and equipment used will vary depending on the complexity of the project and the desired outcome.

What are the three 3 types of metal fabrication?

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

What is the difference between steel fabrication and metal fabrication?

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.
