Metal Fabrication
What is welding and fabrication?
Fabrication involves a range of processes, including welding, cutting, grinding, and sanding. While metal fabrication refers to the comprehensive procedure that a component undergoes, welding constitutes an integral aspect of this overall process.
Welding occurs when two metal pieces are joined through the application of heat. This heat generates a weld pool that solidifies upon cooling, forming the joint that unites the two pieces. Typically, this joint is stronger than the original metal.
TYPES OF WELDING
Different Types of Welding Explained
There are several welding techniques available, such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), MAG (Metal Active Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), and synergic welding. Each welding method serves distinct applications and offers unique benefits.
Our fabricators are certified to weld a broad spectrum of material thicknesses in both stainless steel and mild steel. They have undergone a stringent testing process conducted by an external certification body to confirm our compliance with this standard.
Expertise
Metal fabrication is a skilled industry; our team of expert welders and fabricators work hard to always be at the top of their game. You can rest easy knowing that our specialist team has years of experience working in the industry; they are always on hand to help you turn your ideas into reality.
Bespoke
Our team will guide you through the process to ensure that you get a custom product for your needs. We will work with you to get the suitable materials and sizes for the job, helping keep wastage to a minimum so that the job is as cost effective as possible.
Durability
Sheet metals are one of the most durable materials and are resistant to most high pressures; they can be folded into nearly any shape required. When sheet metal is produced, it is finished to ensure that it can withstand moisture, sun rays and corrosion, which means you will have a long lasting, low maintenance end product.
Quality
Our expert team always uses the latest techniques and technologies when fabricating metal, ensuring that all our work is precise and accurate. No piece leaves our workshop without having first been passed by our quality assurance team, ensuring that our standards are always the highest.
Advantages
What are the advantages of fabrication?
Metal fabrication has many advantages that make it the perfect choice for your sheet metal needs.

What is TIG Welding?
Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG welding) is the process of welding using electricity to melt and join pieces of metal together. It combines an electrode, which heats the metal, and a gas (typically Argon) which protects the weld puddle from airborne contaminants. It was initially invented in the 1940s as a better way to weld magnesium and aluminium together; it is now a widely used practice due to its versatility, cleanliness, and minimal finishing requirements.
What is MIG Welding?
Metal Inert Gas Welding (MIG Welding) is the most common type of welding. It is an arc welding process where a continuous solid wire electrode is fed through a welding gun into the weld pool. This is what brings the two base materials together, forming a join. MIG welding also uses a shielding gas to protect the weld pool from airborne contaminants.
What are the 3 main types of welding?
The three main types of welding are stick welding also known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding and Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding.
What is the difference between MIG and TIG welding?
The difference between the two is how the arc is used. In MIG welding, a wire feed constantly moves through the gun to create the spark; this melts to form the weld. In TIG welding, long, handheld rods are manually fed into the weld puddle whilst the electrical current is varied with either a touch mounted control or a foot pedal.
How do you ensure you protect your welders from dangerous fumes?
We work hard to ensure that our welders are protected from harmful fumes. We use extraction LEVs at every station and have air masks available for each welder. Extraction LEVs (Local Exhaust Ventilation) capture hazardous fumes and remove them from the entire workplace, keeping the individual welder safe and the whole workshop. Air masks protect the individual welder from dangerous fumes by stopping the fumes from entering their personal breathing space.
