Steel Fabricators
Steel fabricators manufacture a wide variety of steel components that make up larger assemblies or end products. Steel fabrication encompasses many operations that are performed on comparatively thin sheets of steel. Steel fabrication typically falls into two categories: heavy fabrication and light fabrication.
Steel fabricators use such operations as stamping, cutting, bending, forming, laser cutting, and welding. Steel fabricators have an understanding of metal structures, are able to read and interpret engineering drawings, and can fabricate shapes using geometric development techniques. Other products manufactured by steel fabricators include enclosures, frames, brackets, panels, grills, cabinets, and more. Steel products are strong and durable.
Steel fabrication starts with metal stock that is cut to the required size through shearing, power hack, band or circular sawing, or acetylene torch cutting. The steel stock is then formed into the desired shapes through the application of mechanical force. The steel piece is given its final shape through machining operations like broaching, boring, twist drilling, turning, counterboring, spotfacing, countersinking, reaming, milling, and grinding.
