As a leading manufacturer and provider of manufacturing solutions, MetallicTec Industries CO.,Limited offers the experience and equipment needed to produce high-quality metal fabricated parts for any project requirements.
What Are Metal Fabricated Parts?
Metal fabrication is an “umbrella term” for a variety of manufacturing processes that are used to shape raw or semi-finished material into parts or a complete product. Fabricators may fold, cut, stamp, or shape the metal using various machines such as presses or dies. In some cases, the metal is forced through a die or welded with other components.
Depending on the specific requirements for the part in question, there are a number of materials and manufacturing methods that will be available as options in the production process.
What Materials Are Typically Used In Metal Fabrication?
From stainless steel to aluminum, there are a number of metals and alloys that can be used to fabricate metal parts. These will typically include but are not limited to:
Most fabrication processes start with stock metal such as metal rods or sheet metal. Depending on the metal fabrication process, the metal may be passed through a cutting machine to remove material. Some assemblies may also require welding, bolting, or riveting.
Examples of common metal fabricated parts are:
- Hand tools
- Automotive parts
- Machinery & Equipment
- Consumer goods
- Pots, pans, and cutlery
- High strength bolts
- Agricultural and food handling components
In some cases, metal fabrication is followed by CNC machining or other finishing processes such as polishing, plating, or coating.
Metal Fabricated Parts for Any Industry
Metal fabrication is used in a diverse range of industries. From toy parts to components for aerospace applications, metal fabrication facilities regularly produce a variety of custom parts.
Industries that frequently require metal fabrication services include:
- Agriculture and food production
- Aircraft and automobile manufacturing
- Construction
- Automotive
- Oil and mining
- Aerospace
- Electronics
- Hobby and toy
- Medical
- Marine
- Telecommunications
- Defense
Most metal fabrication projects belong to one of three categories: commercial, industrial, or structural. Commercial fabrication includes parts designed for consumer products such as appliances or automobile components.
Industrial fabrication is the process of developing tools and equipment for industrial applications. This may include the fabrication of saw blades or other parts used for additional manufacturing processes.
Structural fabrication is used to produce structural components for construction industries. Buildings, skyscrapers, and other construction projects often rely on custom made components for structural support.
Common Metal Fabrication Processes
Some components require greater precision while others allow for minor variations on the final dimensions. To address the versatile needs of our clients, MetallicTec Industries CO.,Limited employs a variety of fabrication processes.
- Metal stamping is a common fabrication process used to form sheet metal and rolled metals to the desired shape. In sheet metal fabrication the metal is hit with a high-pressure die or pressed into a die, which is useful for parts that feature holes or embossing.
- Hot extrusion is commonly used to create pieces with cross-sectional profiles. With this process, the metal is forced through a die at high temperatures.
- Welding is a process for joining two workpieces together. Other forms of assembly include bolting and riveting.
- Folding and bending are fabrication processes that involve the use of force to alter the shape of metal. The metal is bent or folded with a hydraulic press or hammer.
If metal requires cutting, fabricators may use laser cutting or water-jetting. Laser cutting is suitable for materials measuring up to one inch thick while water-jetting is often used for thicker materials.
