ASTM Standard Custom Welded H-Beam Parts Structural Steel Fabrication for Construction & Steel Structures

Key Steps in the Steel Fabrication Process

1.Cutting: When steel is cut to size and shape using methods such as laser cutting, plasma cutting or machining. Selection of cutting gas depends on the thickness of metal, the cutting speed, and type of cutting.

2.Forming: Bending and stretching cold forming techniques – the formed steel is bent or stretched on a press brake or other equipment after it has been cut. This process is critical in achieving part-to-part similarity.

3.Assembling and Welding: Steel components or parts are fastened by bolting, riveting or welding. Balance in this processing step, contribute to determine how structurally well-shaped and shaped the end product will be.

4.Surface Treatment: The finished products needs be cleaned, galvanized, powder coated or painted to enhance it's look, life and rust resistance.

5.Inspection and Quality Checks: Continuous surveillance and inspections during whole of its manufacturing process to assure that the product is well fabricated and fit for use.
