Everything You Should Know About the Metal Fabrication Process

1. Everything You Should Know About the Metal Fabrication Process Marine metal fabrication is quite simple, in principle. Two metals are submerged in water, while electrically connected. When this occurs, one will demonstrate a decidedly faster rate of corrosion, while the other will display a much slower rate. At Allied Marine & Industrial, we pride ourselves on our metal fabrication and welding services. Marine metals are all made of a combination of two metallic elements. More commonly, they are known as alloys. Steel is a perfect example. Marine metals are all composed of lead, mercury, and antimony. This alloy has incredible anti-corrosive properties. Because of this, marine metal is widely used to galvanize ship hulls to prevent corrosion. The History of Marine Metal Fabrication The rise of marine metal fabrication came in the 19th century during the start of the modern shipping industry. When ships began to be more frequently made from metal than wood, it created a problem. Due to the prolonged period of time the metal hulls were in the water, they rusted. It became necessary to find a solution. The cost of losing ships to rust was too much to bear. Metallurgists of the day started to experiment with various metals. They formulated some of the first metal fabrications. They realized, by using raw metal extractions, they could forge new metal structures. And marine metal fabrication was born. The three steps necessary for metal fabrication are as follows: - Cutting - Bending - Assembling Business Address: 1 Lake Road, Port Colborne, ON, L3K 1A2 Phone No.–905-834-8275 Site - https://www.allmind.com Email ID –sales@allmind.com

2. Cutting This step involves removing all unwanted sections of the raw metal. There are three different cutting stages. They are as follows: - Sawing - Shearing - Laser Cutting Sawing occurs when removing large portions of the metal. With shearing, small impurities are taken from the sample of metal. Laster cutting takes away minute particles before moving to the second step of fabrication which is bending. Bending Shaping and molding occurs during the bending stage. It cannot be done by hand, but rather heavy-duty machines. Assembling At this point, we create the final product. The hull of the ship is then coated with the alloy. Changing Technology With new technologies, the options are endless. It has changed perspectives and ideas about the metal fabrication industry. While once, manual machine tools were used in marine metal industries. The use of lathes and drills were common. There were problems with workers being exposed to hazardous equipment. Into today’s world of custom aluminum welding and marine metal fabrication, machining tools are computer controlled. Automating the fabrication process has made the procedure more efficient, saving time and money. If your company is looking for marine engineering contractors to help with metal fabrication and welding services, look no further than us. We are the answer.
