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 […]
Mill test reports are a service many metal fabricators offer to their customers to assure them they are getting high-quality materials. A mill test report is a document that certifies the physical and chemical properties of a piece of metal and states that the metal in question complies with the standards of international industrial organizations. […]
Bending is a very common metal fabrication process that involves manipulating flat sheets of metal (including aluminum, steel or brass) by bending and pressing the metal to create new shapes. Metal fabricators can use bending to create some very complex and highly-functional pieces. It is a critical aspect of metal fabrication and metalworking. Of course, […]
Metal is an incredible material. It is incredibly hard, strong and durable, but many metals can be bent into just about any shape. Some metals are easy to bend and can be formed with little effort, while others will be more likely to break than bend no matter what method is attempted. Why can some […]
