Fabrication design (or production design) is the planning of the actual manufacturing, be it a prototype, finished product or production line to produce it. This would typically be designed by engineers or CNC programmers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is the difference between welding and metal fabrication?” tab_id=”1644009115914-85693aa9-64e416440097739421644010606704″][vc_column_text]Welding is one of the fabrication stages of metal fabrication, whereas metal fabrication is the overall process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_accordion color=”white” gap=”15″ active_section=”1″ no_fill=”true” title=”Steel Fabrication FAQs”][vc_tta_section title=”What is steel fabrication work?” tab_id=”1644008765721-d09cb3d8-ab06164400977394216440106067041644010986694″][vc_column_text]Steel fabrication is a process of shaping, forming and combining structures out of steel and its alloys. Steel fabrication includes cutting, bending and assembling metal components into the desired end product or prototype according to an engineer\u2019s specifications.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is the process of steel fabrication?” tab_id=”1644008905048-deb77984-0c6f164400977394216440106067041644010986694″][vc_column_text]The steel fabrication process includes (but is not limited to) cutting, machining, punching, drilling, bending or straightening, rolling, welding, forming and final component assembly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What are the most common types of steel fabricated?” tab_id=”1644008948199-9b7e6371-2d7c164400977394216440106067041644010986694″][vc_column_text]Carbon Steel \u2013 A type of steel containing carbon element on a 0.05% to 2.1% percent scale. This type of steel becomes stronger after heat treatment, but loses its flexibility. It\u2019s also harder to fabricate.<\/p>\n
Stainless Steel \u2013 This is a steel alloy of iron, chromium and other metals such as nickel. The corrosion-resistance properties make it widely used across industries like food, medicine, energy and construction.<\/p>\n
Galvanized Steel \u2013 This is a steel with a protective zinc coating layer applied to protect it from corrosion.<\/p>\n
Aluminum \u2013 This is a steel alloy with special properties of lightness, flexibility and corrosion-resistance, which is used in many industries such as aviation, aerospace, automotive, and medical.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is custom steel fabrication?” tab_id=”1644008975730-749ed3c8-0757164400977394216440106067041644010986694″][vc_column_text]Custom fabrication is a full cycle metal fabrication process conducted by the manufacturer \u2013 including fabrication engineering, prototype design, production, assembly, and delivery logistics of the final product to the client\u2019s facility.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What do steel fabrication companies do?” tab_id=”1644009001650-b2b98e46-85fa164400977394216440106067041644010986694″][vc_column_text]Fabrication shops, or fabricators, conduct the processes of shaping raw metal components into parts that used to build final products such as machinery or metal structures across different industries. Fabricators work according to the specifications provided or engineer custom prototypes based on their client\u2019s ideas.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is fabricated stainless steel?” tab_id=”1644009048402-5630cca7-a7b5164400977394216440106067041644010986694″][vc_column_text]Stainless steel has almost the same properties as regular steel, except it has more flexibility which makes its fabrication relatively easy. However, engineering such as strengthening and hardening is more complex and only offered by specialized fabrication shops.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is steel fabrication engineering?” tab_id=”1644009071045-70517909-21de164400977394216440106067041644010986694″][vc_column_text]Typically, a steel fabrication engineer is responsible for designing a steel product, commissioning the manufacturing process, and in many cases, setting up the specifications and functions of the entire manufacturing line.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How is steel fabrication cost calculated?” tab_id=”1644009115914-85693aa9-64e4164400977394216440106067041644010986694″][vc_column_text]Each process or end product is calculated individually based on the level of customization, fabrication complexity and other production components. As a basic calculation, the costs of steel fabrication could be estimated as about 3 times that of the initial raw material. So if the cost of the raw metal itself is $500, its fabrication into structural steel could cost around $1500.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
