Stainless steel is one of the most popular choices for metal fabrication. However, while it’s a highly sought-after choice for constructors and manufacturers, there are things about stainless steel fabrication that most people in Singapore might not know yet.
Here are some interesting facts about stainless steel fabrication.
1. Several Steps is needed for fabrication
Before a structural steel constructor in Singapore can create beams, component, or equipment, they have to go through multiple steps such as CNC machining, welding, shearing, forming, and most importantly assembling. But first, they have to determine the lead time, so their clients will know when they can complete the project.
2. Manufacturing Requires Several Tools
Structural steel contractors also have to use various equipment to complete the stainless steel fabrication process. However, the tools used occasionally vary based on the difficulty of the project. What they usually use for a project are a table saw, angle finder, lathe, press brake, and sometimes, a laser cutter for a complex project.
3. Fabrication has limits
It’s easy to assume that a structural steel contractor can customise anything in a snap. However, the truth is, it has limitations like other invention and process. For example, when doing metal casting in Singapore, a contractor have to choose an alternative type of stainless steel or fabrication technique to customise your request.
4. It has Unique Components
Also, stainless steel fabrication requires careful planning to produce the same result. Why? Because not all stainless steel is the same, which means each one has unique properties that contractors have to think of which technique and equipment work best.
