All over the world, metal is used almost for all the things whether it is your pant zip or spaceship. At present, Manufacturing Industry, Automation Industry, Construction, Power Generation, and in much more industry, they are using a metal (which is called steel) to develop the large range of product almost for everything. A lot of processes and job work to do just for developing the product from raw steel. Steel is used to manufacture the structural steel members and bars, Storage Tank, Vehicles, Equipment, and almost every household and working environment. Fabrication is a process in which various mechanical jobs to do such as- Bending, Cutting, Welding, Folding, Shearing, Punching, Casting. In simple words, it is a process in which raw metal is turned into a pre-made shape for assembly purposes.
The fabrication process is a complex & varied process. The question is what is the real fabrication process and how does it work? The below lines will elaborate on you and help you to understand it better.
Fabrication Process
Certainly when people asked about how metal fabrication works? Then they come to know that the below mention mechanical job is just a part of their training program in fabrication. On the other side, each and every mechanical job which is a part of fabrication required a degree of practice and skill to become master in them. The machines which are used to doing such a job usually are expensive and required much enough space to perform such a job. The mechanical jobs are the following:
- Cutting
- Folding
- Welding
- Shearing
- Punching
Cutting & Shearing
Cutting is the most important and common job to do in metal fabrication. The cutting process you can understand with these lines: A metal sheet can be split into half size, one third, or any small size which is required for assembly next time. On the other side shearing is a process where long cuts required in a sheet fabrication job.
Folding & Punching
Folding is a process in which metal surfaces manipulated to give shape at an angle. This process is required high tech equipment and machine while it’s come to perform. Because without using this machine and equipment, it is hard to bring quality during a fabrication process. The fold of the metal surface is required for assembling the two metal panels at an angle. Besides this, Punching is a process that uses for forming the holes in a metal piece.
Welding
The first thing that needs to be understood that the welding is important as same as others are required. It is a process where two metal piece joints together by applying a high voltage current. The welding process can be used for joining the sheets, structural steel, metal pipes, and tubes.
These are some mechanical job that performs during a fabrication process in almost every industry which is using steel metal. On the other side, steel plays the most important role in the development of the nation.
