Fabrication

Steel fabrication is the process of transforming raw steel into a desired shape or product through various techniques such as cutting, bending, welding, and assembling. It involves a range of activities, including:

• Design : Creating detailed drawings and specifications for the steel structure or product.
• Material selection : Choosing the appropriate type and grade of steel for the project.
• Cutting : Using various methods like sawing, shearing, or laser cutting to cut the steel into required shapes and sizes.
• Forming : Shaping the steel through bending, rolling, or pressing to create the desired curvature or angle.
• Machining : Using machine tools to drill, tap, or grind the steel to achieve precise dimensions and finishes.
• Welding : Joining the steel components together using various welding techniques like shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), or gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW).
• Finishing : Applying coatings, paint, or other treatments to protect the steel from corrosion and enhance its appearance.

Steel fabrication is used in various industries, including construction, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, to create a wide range of products such as buildings, bridges, machinery, equipment, and consumer goods.
