2.1 ​Fabrication department

Metal fabrication is the creation of metal structures by cutting,

bending and assembling processes. It is a value-added process
involving the creation of machines, parts, and structures from
various raw materials.

As with other manufacturing processes, both human labor

and automation are commonly used. A fabricated product may
be called a fabrication, and shops specializing in this type of
work are called fab shops. The end products of other common
types of metalworking, such as machining, metal stamping,
forging, and casting, may be similar in shape and function, but
those processes are not classified as fabrication.

Processes

● Cutting is done by sawing, shearing ,torching with

handheld torches (such as oxy-fuel torches or plasma
torches); and via numerical control (CNC) cutters (using a
laser, mill bits, torch, or water jet).
● Bending is done by hammering (manual or powered) or
via press brakes, tube benders and similar tools. Modern
metal fabricators use press brakes to coin or air-bend
metal sheet into form.
● Welding is the main focus of steel fabrication. Formed and
machined parts are assembled and tack-welded in place,
then rechecked for accuracy. If multiple weldments have
been ordered, a fixture may be used to locate parts for
welding. A welder then finishes the work according to
 engineering drawings (for detailed welding) or by their own
experience and judgement (if no details are provided).

Different welding techniques being used

MIG welding

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its

subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) welding or metal active gas
(MAG) welding, is a welding process in which an electric arc
forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the
workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s),
causing them to melt and join. Along with the wire electrode, a
shielding gas feeds through the welding gun, which shields the
process from contaminants in the air.

Arc welding

Arc welding is a welding process that is used to join metal to

metal by using electricity to create enough heat to melt metal,
and the melted metals when cool result in a binding of the
metals. It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply
to create an electric arc between a metal stick ("electrode") and
the base material to melt the metals at the point of contact. Arc
welders can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current,
and consumable or non-consumable electrodes.
