STEEL FABRICATION INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING-INTRODUCTION TO STEEL FABRICATION
STEEL FABRICATION INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING-Steel has been one of the most utilized material for a long time, and it has different applications. The impressive Toughness, Ductility, Malleability, Elongation, Tensile Strength and other Factors are the reasons why steel components are used in pretty much everything, from transportation to appliances to structures or to entire buildings. Steel is an alloy of iron and other materials and can be fabricated through the process of turning or welding into specific shapes.
STEEL FABRICATION INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING-DIFFERENT STEPS OF STEEL FABRICATION
There are three basic steps steel fabrication – melting raw materials, mixing melted materials into steel, and forming the desired shape. The entire process is rather complicated, has little to no room for error, and requires a person of specific skills to operate it all properly. This process is widely used by steel fabricators to generate all kinds of steel parts and details, such as:
- Bar joists beams angles channels
- Ladders and stairs
- Grating and fences
- Skids and manifolds
- Platforms
- Universal columns
- Industrial equipment and more.
Steel fabrication is a process that can be performed using multiple different methods or approaches. Here are some of these methods:
- Cutting – there are several different methods that can be used to cut a specific part of a metal piece:
- Shearing is an alternative, as well, and it’s one of the simplest methods so to flame cutting– the cutting process consists of placing a piece of raw material between two parts of the die, in which the higher part is called punch. it is rather easy to shear a single material piece into several different, smaller pieces.
- Band saws are mostly used when it comes to cutting thick and complex section suct as bars, pipes, beams or angle iron.
- Cutter torches are also used quite commonly when it comes to cutting large cross-sectioned steel pieces. Their speed is impressive, but it does use extreme temperatures to perform the cut in the first place, so the cutting areas are treated as heat-affected zones.
- Water jet cutting is also an alternative to cutting torches, but at the same time, it offers no material distortion and can precisely cut practically any material using high-pressure water without the overheating problem that regular cutter torches have.
- Bending – a process of changing the shape of a steel piece by applying a massive force to it, it is usually done by either hammering works or with press machines. Press brakes and/or tube benders are used in the bending process to achieve the necessary angle of the steel piece.
- Welding – it’s a rather common method of steel fabrication that uses the fusion process to either combine or bend pieces of steel or other material. The fusion process is achieved by heating steel parts to an extreme degree, joining or bending them while they’re hot, and letting them cool. It is an extremely basic operation in principle.

- Steel work erection
- Surface preparation
- Corrosion protection
- Machining – the name of this process comes from the abundance of machinery that can be used to shave away metal parts to form a specific shape, using tools like drills, lathes, mills, and so on. There are also several other processes that can be considered supporting in relation to the steel fabrication process:
STEEL FABRICATION SUPPLIES
Many steel fabrication processes are using an abundance of different materials and appliances to speed up the fabrication process, especially if your workers have constant access to a supply of materials that they need. Some of these materials are:
- Castings – help with speeding up the fabrication process in some cases, often used to generate more visual interest to the object of fabrication;
- Sectional metal – metal in a specific shape, some of the more common examples are Z shape, L shape, bar metal, and rod metal;
- Welding wire – extremely important tool for pieces that need to be welded together, and there are many different types of welding tools, as well;
- Plate metal – expands the capability of fabricators to shape the pieces in a specific way;
- Flat metal – capable of creating both texture and visual interest, flat metal (mostly plate and sheet metal) is a great choice for many types of fabrication processes;
- Expanded metal – a specific metal type (grate-like) that is required for outdoor furniture and other things that require moisture to not stay on the surface in question;
- Fittings – creation and completion of many pieces are dependent on these.
STEEL FABRICATION ENGINEERING AND DESIGN
Any steel fabrication company uses the fabrication design throughout the entire process, and having an understanding of a design in the first place is crucial for the whole process to be successful. The drawing itself must be comprehensible and complete, with all of the size markings added to it. The engineering part of it directly affects the quality of the product in question, including both the actual design of the piece, as well as the various production parameters, be it mechanical properties, or anything else.
