With technology taking the center of every industry, every business is fighting to remain relevant, competitive, and productive. One of the main ways technology is shaping the future is through metal work. It’s no secret that most industries, including agricultural, aerospace, processing, manufacturing, medical, and automotive, rely heavily on metal fabrication. So what does the […]
Have you ever wondered how metal items are made? How are they able to bend into different shapes and move in different directions when the material is completely solid? You see it in functional items all around you, from appliances and decor in your own home to tall, skyscraper buildings. As a material, its flexibility and […]
What is mandrel bending? Mandrel bending is a process where a metal rod, called a mandrel, is inserted into a pipe to support the walls during bending. This method is used to create tight bends in pipes without collapsing the pipe or damaging the mandrel. In this article, you’ll learn more about mandrel bending. How […]
Metalworking often requires the application of extreme heat to make the metal malleable. Heating metal causes its molecules move faster, which makes the metal easier to shape the way you want. Unfortunately, working with extreme heat creates additional workplace dangers that could become deadly. Heat is often created by gas, and gas containers could explode. […]
The process of flanges manufacturing is quite complex and must be adhered to rigorously if the manufacturer is to create high-quality components. It is critical for all metal fabricators performing manufacturing and welding of flanges to use high-quality materials from reliable vendors and to have plenty of quality control practices in place to ensure all […]
