Sheet Metal Versus Structural Metal

Metal comes in two primary forms as a starting point for custom fabrication: sheet metal and structural metal.

Sheet metal comes in rectangular sheets or in rolls of various sizes and thicknesses. When sheet metal is 3/16-inch thick or greater, it's commonly referred to as plate metal, and is often classified as plate.

Structural metal is metal stock that comes already formed into a particular shape, usually defined by its cross section. The most common shapes are beams, angles, channels, and hollow structural shapes, called HSS. A pipe is a type of HSS with a circular cross-section. Other profiles of HSS include square, rectangular and elliptical. Structural metal can also include specialty metal stock, such as prefabbed grating.

 

Primary Custom Metal Fabrication Processes

 

 

Three primary functions of a custom metal fabrication service are: Cutting the metal stock to desired shapes and sizes, forming the metal by bending or manipulating it in certain ways, and joining the elements of an assembly together.

Each of the primary processes breaks down into a variety of methods and types of equipment used for each, depending on the requirements of a particular custom metal fabrication service. Metal cutting metal can be cut using specialized saws, shears, and sources of extreme heat, which can include high-definition plasma and laser cutters. A subset of cutting is punching, which creates holes or openings through pieces of metal.

Saws
Industrial metal saws come in a variety of shape and sizes - usually large circular saws or specialty band saws that can cut most every type of metal, from plate metal up to giant construction i-beams. Saws are used for straight-line cuts. They are often used in "beam lines," where the beams are sent down a roll conveyor to be cut to exact sizes dictated by architectural drawings.

Shears
Shears for custom metal fabrication are industrial machines of various sizes and configurations that cut sheet metal. Rated for different thicknesses, these machines cut the metal using opposing blades, similar to the operation of scissors, though one side is normally fixed while the other moves in an angled levering motion. Some, such as bench shears, are operated manually. Large shears are operated with hydraulics, including rams for holding the material in place. Shears are commonly used for straight-line cuts.

High-definition plasma and laser
Industrial plasma tables allow for cutting plate metal into almost any shape or size. Plasma can cut custom shapes such as circles or complex curves and often is operated with computer numerical control (cnc). A plasma cut is somewhat cruder than laser. Laser cutting machines are used for extremely clean and precise cuts in almost any type of metal, and make it possible to create intricate shapes, such as decorative copper filigree.

Punch and notch
Industrial metal punch presses utilize dies that are struck against the metal to create openings of almost any shape or size, often using cnc. These high-pressure devices can make use of either mechanical, electro-mechanical or hydraulic force.

Metal forming
Custom metal fabrication entails forming the raw stock into the desired shapes using industrial machines capable of generating the forces and pressures needed to alter the metal to precise tolerances.

Rolling
While specialized hot rolling is used for the creation of raw metal stock, in custom metal fabrication cold rolling is most often used to shape sheet or plate metal into cylinders or curves. Plate rolling creates curves, while angle rolling creates defined angles, usually at 90 degrees.

Press braking
Industrial press brake machines bend and form metal using high pressure and metal dies. A convex metal die is mounted into the press brake above a corresponding concave die mounted below. The metal to be shaped is inserted between them. Powerful hydraulic or mechanical force moves the convex die down toward the concave die, forcing the metal into it and bending it into the shape formed by the dies.

Assembly and finishing
Once metal elements are cut and shaped, multi-element products need to be assembled and joined. For instance, a metal storage tank might have a cylindrical body, a dome top, a conical bottom, an access ladder, and various doors or hatches that all have to be assembled. Depending on the design, the assembly could include fasteners, such as rivets or nuts and bolts, or welding, requiring mig, tig or stud welding.Processes used to create finishes on metal can include blasting, passivating, galvanizing or painting.

 

Importance of Custom Metal Fabrication Service

 

Custom metal fabrication service holds great importance in various industries. It allows for the creation of tailor-made solutions that precisely meet the specific needs and requirements of clients. Whether it's a unique architectural structure, a custom machine component, or a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture, custom metal fabrication service enables the fabrication of bespoke metal creations that are not available off-the-shelf.

Custom metal fabrication service offers enhanced functionality and durability. Skilled fabricators can select the appropriate materials and fabrication techniques to ensure the final product is robust, efficient, and long-lasting. This is particularly crucial in industries where reliability and performance are paramount, such as manufacturing, construction, and aerospace.

 

 

Technology of Custom Metal Fabrication Service

6 Types of Metal Fabrication

 

Cutting
Cutting is arguably one of the earliest forms of metalworking. Though the process and the concept of metal cutting are simple, it can also be performed alongside other complex machines.
Generally, cutting involves the following tools and materials: cutting equipment, metal specimen or workpiece, and a work desk. This process involves the removal of unnecessary pieces from the metal workpiece - be it ferrous, or non-ferrous. After removing the unwanted part, the finished workpiece can now be fitted to work with other components and systems.
Different types of finished metal products can be cut, namely diamond plate, corrugated metal sheets, steel reinforcing bars, pipes, etc. Cutting these materials can be done by using power tools or even handheld blades like a hacksaw, backsaw, or a coping saw - it ultimately depends on the intentions of the cutter.

Metal Stamping
Metal stamping is distinct for sheet metals like stainless steel, aluminum, copper/brass, or other galvanized alloys. This process is specific to sheet metals and may also be used in combination with the other fabrication methods to get the desired outcome.
One of the most popular uses for metal stamping can be found in automotive component manufacturing and assembly. This method is used to design vehicle components like the trunk lids, wheel hubcaps, doors, firewall, and many other vehicle-body-related parts.
Another reason that makes metal stamping ideal for automotive purposes is that it can also be used in coming up with unique, custom-built designs. Car enthusiasts can take advantage of this method to design specialty parts for high-performance vehicles.

Welding
Welding is simply the method of joining two metals together. While there are different types of welding techniques, they do have similar features. Like all other techniques, welding requires a metal workpiece. More than that, it also involves the use of welding equipment, shielding gas, consumable or non-consumable electrode, flux, and fillers.
Welding techniques can be classified according to their complexity. Some of the most common ones include Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), stick welding, or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. This process needs to be done in a controlled environment to make sure that the welding work is neat and free from unwanted materials that can affect the quality of the finished product.
Finished welded parts can be found in virtually any kind of metal product that you can spot in everyday life. It's used in pipe-making, ductwork, automotive manufacturing, bike-making, steel-building, and more.

Extrusion
The extrusion process is not specific to metals, as it can also be used in the production of polymer and other plastic-based products. However, they do have extensive use in the process of profile making for steel or aluminum beams, or sectional components.
In the extrusion process, a solid billet of alloy/metal is passed through a tooling die that contains a distinct cross-section. This is made possible with the help of a high-powered hydraulic and high-pressure system that allows the billet to be shaped by the die. Once the extruded product is ejected, it can now be subject to further post-processing techniques to refine its appearance, eliminate defects, or make certain adjustments.
The most popular application for extrusions is aluminum extruded profiles that can be used for window frames, door frames, louvers, railings, mullions, or sections. While aluminum already has non-corrosive properties, manufacturers sometimes add another layer of powder coating to the material to make it longer-lasting and aesthetically-appealing.

Forging
Similar to cutting forging is also one of the oldest metal fabricating techniques. If you've encountered this type, then it's no surprise that images of a blade being hammered on a solid block of anvil might be something that's on your mind.
Despite the age of this method, forging has gone on to stand the test of time and become a reliable method of shaping metals into various sizes. Likewise, there are also different forging techniques such as cold forging, hot forging, or open die forging. While there may be differences across each method, one similarity is the use of compression forces that shape, bend, or press the metal in the desired form.

Casting
Metal casting involves the process of heating a metal until its melting point and then poured in an empty cavity mold that has a specific design. The metal is allowed to cool until it fully hardens and can be post-processed to remove minor defects and to improve the finish of the metal.
The advantage that casting has over all the other processes mentioned here, is that it can be used to create complicated shapes in a single run. Automotive, aerospace, farming, computer equipment, and other objects can be cast easily with minimal issues.
The downside, however, is that the heating and cooling process may create internal stresses in the crystal structure of the metal itself. This is why manufacturers have to carefully conduct casting operations to prevent cracks and damages on the metal.

The intended application plays a significant role, as different materials have unique properties suitable for specific uses. For example, steel may be chosen for its strength in structural components, while aluminum may be preferred for its lightweight in automotive or aerospace applications.
Corrosion resistance is another consideration, with stainless steel being suitable for environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals is a concern.
Budget is also a factor, as certain materials may be more expensive than others.
The desired appearance and finish can influence the material selection, with copper or brass adding a decorative touch.

 

What Are the Different Types of Custom Metal Fabrication?

 

 

There are three types of custom metal fabrication, each referring to a different scale and function of the fabrication process:
Industrial custom metal fabrication
Industrial custom metal fabrication is used to create parts of tools and equipment. The tools and equipment, in turn, create other consumer goods in industries. For example, turning steel into a steel bandsaw is industrial custom metal fabrication. The bandsaw will, in turn, be used by other industries.

Structural custom metal fabrication
Structural custom metal fabrication is the process of creating metal structures such as building frames. Steel is the most common type of metal used in this process, so much that it is also referred to as structural steel.

Commercial custom metal fabrication
Commercial custom metal fabrication involves the process of fabricating metal for consumer goods such as automobiles. Commercial custom metal fabrication commonly utilizes the tools and machines created by industrial custom metal fabrication.

 

Metal Stamping and Metal Fabrication: What Is the Difference?
 

Metal stamping involves any of a number of metal forming operations. Stamping, bending, pressing, folding, and stretching may all be used to produce the final part. Metal stamping processes use punch presses with custom-made tooling and dies to produce a part's shape or pattern. Stamping processes can provide tighter tolerances than metal fabrication. It's a fast and cost-effective for producing metal parts in large quantities.

Metal fabrication manufactures three-dimensional metal parts by cutting, bending, and/or other assembly processes. Highly specialized equipment such as CNC laser cutters, CNC press brakes, CNC turret presses, and welding are generally required. The tooling associated with stamping can be costly, and so metal fabrication is quite often the more economical way to produce parts in lower quantities. There is greater design flexibility in fabrication than in stamping, due to the fact that there is no tooling changes needed if your part design requires alteration.

 

 
The Types of Custom Metal Fabrication Processes

 

There are many things that can be done to metals, so there are many different types of custom metal fabrication processes. Some of the common custom metal fabrication processes include:

1. Cutting and notching

Cutting is one of the simplest custom metal fabrication processes. It involves dividing a piece of metal into smaller pieces of the required length. Notching processes like tube notching are similar but instead of dividing the metal, we take out a portion of metal from the edges of the metal piece to create cutouts.

2. Bending

Bending is commonly applied to metal tubes, pipes, and bars. However, certain applications call for bending sheet metal as well.
Nowadays, different techniques like the tube bending process are widely used in automotive, architectural, industrial and aviation and airspace industries.

3. Assembling

Assembling is the joining of different metal pieces together to form the combined final piece. There are many different ways of assembling such as using adhesives, welding, riveting, thread fastening, etc.

4. Casting

Casting involves giving metal a desired shape by melting it at a high temperature and pouring it into an empty mold. When the metal fills the cavity, the metal is left to cool off so it takes the shape of the cavity.

5. Drawing

Drawing is the process of using tensile force on metal to stretch it. The process is accomplished by passing metal between two dies, while the dies hammer on the metal. It is done on cold metal since the dimensions of hot metal can vary considerably on cooling. A popular example of drawing technique is mandrel bending.

6. Folding

Folding is a simple process where a metal sheet is bent at a certain point. The most common way of achieving this is by keeping the metal on a stationary hollow die at the bottom, while a pointed tool on the top punches on the metal.

7. Forging

Forging is one of the oldest custom metal fabrication job. In forging, metal is heated to a high temperature (but not melting point). When metal is glowing hot, force is applied on the metal to change its shape as required, since hot metal is easier to reshape.

8. Extrusion

Extrusion is similar to metal drawing. In extrusion, the metal is forced to pass through two dies to create a final piece of smaller cross-sectional area. This technique is used to create metal pipes and bars.

9. Machining

Machining is the process where excess metal is removed from a piece, generally by using a wedge-shaped cutting tool. It is generally used as a secondary custom metal fabrication process, for creating finishing.

10. Punching

In metal punching, holes are created in a metal sheet by using a high shearing force. The holes can vary in shapes and sizes as required, by adjusting the size of the punch (the object used to create the shearing force).

11.Shearing

Shearing is the process of cutting metal along a straight line by two blades placed in the top and bottom of the metal piece. One of the blades is stationary (called the die), and the other blade moves through the metal (called punch). The process is applied to flat metal sheets in general.

12. Stamping

In stamping, a metal sheet is placed between two dies which hammer on the sheet with a high force. The shapes of the die mold the sheet into the required shape. Metal stamping is a combination of multiple fabrication processes such as punching and bending.

13. Welding

Welding involves joining two pieces of metal together by fusing the metal at the joint. The fusion usually occurs by creating a high-temperature melt joint by electricity. There are many types of metal welding processes out there.
