Achieve a High Level Of Versatility and Cost Savings In Your Projects With Custom Metal Fabrication

 

Metal fabrication is used to create a variety of parts for use in various projects such as stairways, railways, construction equipment and tools, delicate electronic equipment, and a lot more. Some of the raw metals commonly used in sheet metal fabrication include plate metal, sectional metal, expanded metal, tube stock and welding wire. The most common metals used in the casting process include aluminium, steel, magnesium, iron, stainless steel, copper, and gold.

Each of these metals has their own specific use in various industrial applications. For example, sectional metal is used in construction and engineering applications for the construction of I-beam, Z-beam, and hollow structural section or HSS. As the name suggests, expanded metal expands or stretches, resulting in grate-like metal which is ideal for use in outdoor furniture, architectural detailing, and safety guarding on machinery.

Use of sheet metal fabrication

Metal formed into thin sheets is called sheet metal and is used in many applications in the building and manufacturing industries. Many types of metals, such as titanium, brass, aluminium, and copper can be formed into sheet metal for use in various applications. Each different use of sheet metal requires a specific thickness or gauge. A higher gauge number indicates a thinner metal piece while a lower number means the metal sheet is thicker. Sheet metal can be used as a roofing material to make rain gutters. It is also used by custom sheet metal fabricators for use in ductwork and furnaces.

Sheet metal fabrication includes designing, programming, cutting, punching, welding, bending, assembling and power coating. To achieve all these operations, a Brisbane custom metal fabrication shop should have the right tools, technology and qualified staff to accomplish the project to perfection. Custom sheet metal fabrication allows clients to receive products with the exact specifications that they need for their various projects.
