Brisbane Metal Products

  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 me...

  Stainless steel is an iron alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium that makes it resistant to corrosion by forming a thin layer of oxide on its surface. More than 60 grades of stainless steel are available which are used in a variety of fabrication processes to suit a specific application’s requirements. Steel is a popular choice for custom stainless steel fabrication due to its ability to withstand long-term exposure to a variety of environmental conditions. It is used in structural constructions such as pillars, in the manufacturing of medical devices, and in industrial applications involving the use of caustic chemicals. As stainless steel does not rust, no galvanization is required which saves the additional costs for many projects.  Stainless steel is the metal of choice for preventing the accumulation of dirt and food particles on surfaces. Custom stainless steel fabrication is widely used in the food and construction industry, and for ornamental items. Stainless steel ...

  Heavy metal fabrication Brisbane entails constructing large and heavy structures and parts for various applications. These parts cannot be easily moved through the fabrication shop and as such, the process involves the use of cranes and forklifts which can cause a lot of disruption. Dust and fumes are another big challenge of heavy fabrication services Brisbane which if not contained, cause an unpleasant and unhealthy environment for all. So, a specialized heavy fabrication services Brisbane would consider building temporary enclosures around the work area and keep all cutting, welding, grinding and portable extraction equipment there. This will not only help in containing harmful dust and dirt particles, but also result in overall better quality work. Heavy fabrication services Brisbane is quite a different process to those used for sheet materials and extrusions. Shears won’t be able to cut a thick plate and a press brake won’t be able to bend it.   A turret punch wi...

Custom metal fabrication is used in a variety of industrial applications involving sheet metal, precision tubes, laser cladding, architectural panels, structural beams, electron beam welding, artistic elements, etc. Fabricated metal parts are preferred for their broader range of mechanical properties. These parts are durable and offer high excellent structural strength and longevity. The machines used in metal fabrication Brisbane have high replicating capabilities that make it possible to produce parts at a low cost per unit. The fabricator works closely with the customer to take minimise the overall cost out of the broader process. It could include changes in component design and delivery schedules, among other things. Elements of design strategy Sheet metal fabrication involves a set of design strategies to develop a sheet metal product. Choosing a less expensive material in the design strategy, such as using aluminium instead of copper, would helps in keeping the fabrication ...
